Gentlemen -
I think Erich Göstl is commonly referred to as the only SS-Grenadier (lowest EM rank) to have won the Knight's Cross. He certainly was the only one in the LAH. (Most impressive that he had won the EK2 and EK1 at the very beginning of the fighting in Normandy as a Grenadier)
For whatever reason I believe there was another one, a SS-Kanonier who I believe was awarded the KC posthumously.
Can anyone shed a light on this?
Kind rgds,
Markus
