Greetings!
Just wondering if there is any way to find a citation for the award of a Knight's Cross. I'm fortunate to have in my collection the Honor Goblet Luftwaffe Ofw Hans SCHOEFBECK (Schofbeck), a Ju-52 pilot. He received his Knight's Cross in March 1943. I suspect it relates to Stalingrad. He did not receive the German Cross in Gold until Jan 1945 which is unusual and suggests to me he may have been specifically singled out for the KC. Any help or suggestions about finding this info will be great appreciated.
Thank you! Bob
