And only one of them received the Kight's Cross with Golden oak leaves, swords, and diamonds: Hans-Ulrich Rudel.
I Am Proud to have known him as A Kid!
He was a good friend of my Great Uncles..AGreat Man& A Warrior
Lucky you!@@daverbenson4834
That's right!! And the Golden Oak Leaves was also the final stage of Knights Cross, not the Diamonds.
Correct 💯
6 was made and the other 5 was stolen by american soldiers.
Every time I look at Rommels face I’ll get goosebumps instantly. What a legend he was
His book infantry attacks is the most exciting book I have ever read and is still used in officer schools around the world today. The 20th century Hannibal.
@@Bayofshells His tactics were used in the gulf war a US tank even had a picture of rommel inside
@@tiagomonteiro130 Very interesting. thanks for that.
He was a Top G Alpha Chad
Fantastic. I was surprised how late in the war some of these men recieved their award.
Respect to each of them.
Not for Ferdinand Schörner ! He was a disgrace, the monster who ordered several men& boys to be shot on the spot for "so called" desertion but on the end the coward deserted himself in civilian clothes leaving his men behind. He was a big Nazi and friend of Hitler that's why he got it.
What about a video series telling their stories..........?
I’m surprised that both Michael Wittmann and Kurt Knispel never received the diamonds
Kurt Knipsel didn’t even receive the Knights Cross. He didn’t toe the nazi line - so wasn’t in favour with the leadership
Dead before they could
Knispel never even was awarded the RK. Much less anything else. That was a crime of omission.
@@theodorebennett7938 Because Knispel was a troublemaker who didn't care to obey rules he didn't consider useful and not shy criticizing superiors when he thought them wrong. If he hadn't been such a superlative tank ace he could well have ended up court martialed.
And Wittmann fell shortly after he was awarded the RK with Oak Leaves and Swords.
Rudel, the only recipient of the Knight's Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds,
Surprising Kurt Knispel isn’t on this list, 168 Tank kills.
Dia bukan simpatisan nazi
Some of these men are well-known, & what they did to earn this award, BUT…some of these men I’ve never even HEARD of! There’s a few Field Marshals in there, & a cpl Luftwaffe men I’ve no CLUE what they did to receive this medal!
Same, using Wikipedia now to find out more about some of them.
@@justinreilly6619 I hoped this video would inform us on their accomplishments. I dont want to search for 27 recipients.
Thanks U Sir for another educational video.
The Last Knights of Europe.
R.I.P.
Thank you for your sacrifice
Gott Mit Uns
These bastards fought to enslave and murder. So Gott was definitely not with them
I used to own both service dress and dress uniform of Lt. General Dr Karl Mauss, 26th holder of the Diamonds. Sold both in 2000 . One sold last year for $75,000 dollars!. Quite a bit more than I got for them.
Wolfgang Luth, once commanded U 181, one of the highest decorated U Boats of WWII. It later went on and sank the ship my grandfather was master of. I met 12 vets fro that U Boat including Johannes Limbach-an RKT on that U Boat.
A excellent video
I like the narrator's accent. I reckon he should be awarded 2 Knights Crosses with diamonds and oak leaves.
Adelbert, not Adalbert Schulz.
*These men were physically very strong and robust.*
Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwerter und Brillianten, heißt es Richtig.
Amazing..most of them are from Luftwaffe
They were awarded 7,380 times, when you count non Germans being awarded the RK.
Very few SS soldiers in this group, which is kind of surprising
Gille and Dietrich only , and a lot from the luftwaffe
Werhmacht and SS did not mix well.
Of the in total 19 million German men fighting in WW2, only 400,000 served in the Waffen SS.
I only got awarded with the oak leaves and swords from ebay
Why did you hide the swaticas, part of the Knight's Cross? And you pretend talk about Crosses and History? You started with a bad point, Mister.
YT Guideline. Theyre salty in that poin
@@boombl443 YTSB's stupidity never ceases. They try to change history because of insane ""guidelines."" History SHOULD be presented as it actually was? Why not mention that millions of Gews were led onto cattle cars-when it seems to be sanitized and thusly; changes history.
Just another kraut
