    Hello Kaiser, as far as I know:

    -Hptm Eduard George Hübner - RK: 17.03.45
    -Ofw Karl Koch - RK: 24.10.44
    -Oblt Willy Kroymanns - RK: 20.01.45.
    -Mj Gerhardt Mertens - RK: 6.12.44
    -Mj Dr. Werner Milch - RK: 9.01.45

    As for Kroymanns, it seems that there is no official record of his RK. Here you have his photo.
    Hope this helps.

      RKT Willi Kroymanns

      Gentleman,
      I can not explain why this gentleman is not listed in Walther-Peer Fellgiebel's book but is listed in Gerhard von Seemen's book. The listing is as follows:
      Willi Kroymanns 21. 1. 45
      Oblt.,Fhr. 5./Fsch.Jäg.Rgt. 12
      im BA nicht nachweisbar;
      Quelle:Böhmler, Fallschirmjäger-
      Bilband u. Chronik 1. Aufl.
      Hopefully someone with a better command of German than me can help us.
      I hope that this will help.
      Regards,
      Dick

        Hello
        Willy Kroymann is not a Knights Cross winner .Like it stand to read in "von Seemen" :im Bundesarchiv nicht nachweisbar . No proof in the Bundesarchiv.
        Gerhard von Seemen had not the chance to check all official lists of the
        RK awardings .That can do Walther Peer Fellgiebel in the 80 ies after the germans get back the lists from the USA ..... and there was nothing to find about RK Winner Willy Kroymann or other names for example Studte/Gustavsson/Porsch and so on and so on .
        If it would be an awarding the last days it would be more difficult to say he got it not because of the chaos that was .But awardings from January 1945 are all to proof .

            Gentlemen,

            I know that there must have been many distractions in the German military at the end of the war. Also, I am aware that many late awards were not recorded. But, Herr Kroymann was listed among the membership of the OdR. Could it be that his award was somehow verified thru them?
            Regards,
            Dick
