Gentlemen,

From the book called "The Face Of Courage" by Florian Berger. Hauptmann Max Friedrich,at least 7 tank destruction badges. He won the Knight's Cross on March 23,1945. He was recommended for the Oak Leaves by Gen. Maj. Max Sachsenheimer.
Also from the same book,Major Michael Possinger,5 tank destruction badges. He was a holder of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. SS-Oberscharfuehrer Friedrich Buck,Knight's Cross holder,had knocked out several tanks with hand grenades and Teller mines. It's not certain whether he ever received the tank destruction badges.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao :)

Gentlemen,

On page 55 of "Chain Dogs" Vol.II by Robert E. Witter, Feldwebel Brueckner destroyed four Soviet tanks and Obergefreiter Sauter destroyed six. They were with Oberfeldwebel Heinz Heuer who destroyed 13 Soviet tanks. All three destroyed their tanks with panzerfausts.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao
