              If you mean where can you check the details of the Knights Cross award of each man, you can use http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de/ and each recipient will be seen via the search engine. You will find the subject RKT I listed are well documented as those illustrated on the painting.

              This may be of interest to you, in the book 'Verleihung Genehmight!' (Their honor was loyalty) by Jost W.Schneider. Published by R.James Bender Publishing 1977 first edition. Page 10.

              "The painting on the cover of this publication is entitled “Knight’s Cross Holders of the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”., and it’s artist is SS-Oberscarfuhrer Ernst Krause. This young artist and designer participated in the Polish, French, and Greek campaigns, and was subsequently ordered to produce paintings for SS installations. His most noteworthy product was the aforementioned painting which was given to Hitler as a gift by the LSSAH, and later hung in the great German Exhibition in Munich, 1942. The group portrait was applauded by the Fuhrer, who bestowed on Krause the honor of designing the Eastern Front Medal (Ostmedaille). He completed this task successfully and went on to produce numerous other works during the war. The painting was lost in the chaos of the war. Krause is still alive today as a successful artist."

              I hope this helps.

                So .....as a side note ...it could be ,the painting might still be out there somewhere, or else destroyed . There is a lot still to be found , and could be anywhere if it exists. I am assuming the painting would be in oils on canvas. (?) Very interesting .

                  http://www.history.army.mil/armyhistory/AH04newOCR.pdf

                  Would be interesting get a list of the paintings that remain in

                  U.S. Army Center of Military History Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, DC 20319-5058
                  http://www.history.army.mil/

                  Maybe the Krause's painting is stille there.
