Werner Klaucke (then a Lt. of 3. Kompanie, Pz.Jäg.Abteilung 200, 21. Panzer-Division) was rewarded the Knight's Cross for knocking out 29 British tanks on July 4th, 1944.

There's one thing I don't understand about his award. The Pz.Jäg.Abt. 200 only had 2 Kompanien active at the time Klaucke received the Knight's Cross (these were equipped with PaK 43 Mot Z). Would this mean that Klaucke was in fact part of 3./Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 200 instead?
