Flakpanzer-Commander with Knight's Cross - possible?

Hello!

I'm modeling a Möbelwagen Flakpanzer with crew and one of the figures (the commander) is wearing a knight's cross. Is it possible (no need for proof) that a Flakpanzer's commander could have earned such an esteemed decoration? Maybe there is even a known example?

Theoretically it is possible. Those Möbelwagens were used in anti-aircraft platoons of panzerregiments in panzer division. I don't know of any Knight's cross holder who served in such a unit but on the other hand it is not my area.

Best regards/ Daniel
