      Hi,
      The only one not on your list is Brillanten holder Erich Hartmann 'Oberst, 1956-30.09.70'
      I can suggest a very good book on the subject: 'Die Ritterkreuzträger in der Bundeswehr' by Clemens Range and Andreas Düfel.

      Hope this is of some help,

      Mike Young

        Thanks, I believe my 1957 might have belonged to one of the deceased in this list.
