Black Knights Cross Winners
Were there any black Germans who won the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross? If so, what were their names, the date of the awards, and the reason for the award.
Thanks,
Em.

None
None. Don't ask me how I know, I just know. With a certain certainty. Blacks were not permitted to serve in the Wehrmacht (though there were units of them in the Imperial armed forces- Askaris, they were called, assigned to the Schutzenkorps in the German colonies of Africa).

There are some blacks in the LVF (French Volunteer Legion against Bolshevism) and some blacks in the Freies Arabien LegionMichael Miller wrote:None. Don't ask me how I know, I just know.
