The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, to give it its full name,
owes its origins to the Pour le Merite (Blue Max), an imperial
award dating back to 1740. The Complete Knight's Cross is the only
book to tell the story of all 7,364 men who were awarded it
(including all the disputed awards). The book has over 200 photos
of holders of the medal and over 100 photos of their graves. Volume
One deals with 1939-41 (numbers 1-1267) and is subtitled The Years
of Victory. Volume Two deals with 1942-43 (numbers 1268-3685) and
is subtitled The Years of Stalemate. Volume Three deals with
1944-45 (numbers 3686-7364) and is subtitled The Years of Defeat.
The recipients are listed in the order of the date of award. Each
entry starts with the recipients rank and name, followed by details
of the action or actions for witch they were awarded it. Other
interesting facts and stories are also included for many of them.
Finally their burial locations, where known are given. Any higher
awards (Oak Leaves, Swords, Diamonds and the ultimate Golden award)
are also covered.
