The remarkable early successes of the armed forces of the Third Reich prompted the decision that the supreme decoration for personal valour or outstanding leadership - the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross - was insufficient. To mark further acts of gallantry a new distinction was created in June 1940: the Oak-Leaves clasp. Further decorations in the form of the Swords and, finally, the Diamonds were added. This second title in our series describes and illustrates a selection of recipients of the Knight's Cross and Oak-Leaves between 1941 and early 1944, when the Wehrmacht was engaged on all fronts, as well as at sea and in the air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841766429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841766423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.32w x 0.23d","brand":"Gordon Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445790486783,"sku":"9781841766423","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe1cec3c-6a4a-4a01-8fa8-c906bce98ecb.jpg?v=1777220667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knights-cross-and-oak-leaves-recipients-gordon-williamson-9781841766423","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
