RK awarded to SS-Panzer-Grenadier Erich Göstl
6./ SS-Panzer-Grenadier Regiment "LSSAH"
Awarded on: October 31, 1944

Göstl was the only Waffen-SS Grenadier awarded the Knight's Cross due to his fanatic defense as MG-1 gunner at Tilly (Normandy) against the Canadians. He lost both is eyes and suffered severe headwounds.

Interviewed later, he said he had "...only done his duty".

And a photo of Göstl!

He was released from a POW camp in April 1946. He went on, with great assistance from his wife, to earn a Doctorate Law Degree from the University of Vienna.

He died, at the age of 65, on October 28, 1990, in Sankt Jakob, Austria.
