How to get an ek1/DKiG in the KM?

[bratwurstdimsum]

I posted this in the Crosses section but got no bites, perhaps you Navy chaps can help? I need to find out the criteria for awards (other than tonnage) to officers.

In your original question you were talking purely of the U-boat arm, as you you've asked about the KM i assume you mean all arms.

The criteria for both were the same as the other services really, individual acts of bravery, successful command of a unit\ship and for the EKI at least being part of a crew involved in a successful or particularly hazardous mission including high profile propaganda\morale boosting missions. In cases like that a ship could allocated X amount of EKII and X amount of EKI.
