RK with Oak Leaves awarded to SS-Sturmbannführer Heinz Macher

Awarded on: April 3rd, 1943 - Awarded the Oak Leaves: August 19th, 1944

A WAF member sent me this photo of the decorations attributed to Macher from a display at his home.

I don't know if these are his wartime awards, including the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves.

Anybody knows or has more info?

RK with Oak Leaves awarded to Fregattenkapitän Heinrich Liebe
Kommandant "U 38"
Awarded on: August 14th, 1940 - Oak Leaves: June 10th, 1941

His decorations are currently present at Marineschule Mürwik. It appears Liebe had two sets of KC with OLs. Also, one made by his crew.
