In my files I have this list of holder of both the Pour Le Merite and the Knight's Cross. Is this list complete and correct?

I only have the award dates of the PLM on a few of them, so if you can provide them too, it would be great, thanks.

Kuno-Hans von Both (10 Apr 1918)
Ernst Busch (10 Apr 1918)
Hermann Göring

Hi Georges and Marcus
Re Wolf von Stutterheim did he get PLM whilst serving with the army, any details. I have no record of him serving with flying service in WWI

von Franek, Dr. Friedrich
von Windisch, Alois

Ritterkreuz & Preuss. Goldene MVK (highest NCO award)

6 persons, of which
Ramcke, Hermann (24.04.1918)
Wagner, Gustav (17.09.1918)

Erwin v. Witzleben is definitely not a PLM-holder.
