Soldiers who won the German Cross in Gold twice?
According the the Axis History Factbook, Hans Volkmer was one of four individuals who won the German Cross in Gold twice. I was wondering if anyone had any more information on him. Also I was wondering if anyone knows who were the other three. Thank you.

And here's the link for the 12 Officers (maybe 13) that were awarded with both the German Cross in Gold and the German Cross in Silver...

Rauff (Gold and Silver) has a biography in "German Cross in Gold Holders of the SS and Police."
