Translation help needed please

[Waffenreich]

Good evening gents,

This is a request for help from our native German speakers. Is the use of the word "Eichenlaubes" correct in this phrase?

"Unserem Kommandeur

anläßlich der Verleihung des Eichenlaubes zum Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes

In ewiger Treue von Deinen Staffelkameraden"

In the context of "Oakleaves to the Knights Cross" should it not be written as "Eichenlaub zum Ritterkreuz" ?

I have tried identifying the use of "Eichenlaubes" using a number of internet sources and every time I get no result.

Thanks for looking and your comments are appreciated.

Regards!

Bob
