Pzr Abt 8 Knights Cross winners

Post by Fish »

Hello All, just thought I'd throw this out there and maybe get a hit or two, since the Honor Role Clasp search worked so well.

I am searching for any kind of back ground info on the following 3 Knights cross winners from PzrAbt8 of the 20th PGD.

Ltn Kurt Kruger (later KIA)
OFw Heinrich Mahlstedt (KIA)
Hptm/Major Richard Weiss

I have a few books here at the house that give me the photos, dates and awards, but nothing about them or how they won the award. I was just wondering if they might be hiding in a small book I do not about.

Thanks
