Ritterkreuz "Maria Theresia"

[Waffen211]

Dear friend, in my research i have some doubt on how many ritterkreuz have assigned to members of 22.SS-Kavallerie Division? In some source there si 4, other 6....

this is my only name:

Eichenlaub
August Zehender, il 1° febbraio 1945 come SS-Brigadeführer e comandante della divisione

Ritterkreuz
Anton Ameiser, il 1° novembre 1944 come SS-Stubaf. e Führer SS-Freiw-Kav.Rgt 52
Werner Dallmann, il 17 gennaio 1945 come SS-Ustuf e Adjutant SS-Kav.Rgt 53
Paul Reißmann, il 16 novembre 1944 come SS-Oberscharführer e Führer 4./SS-Kav.Rgt 17

there is other?

Thanks in advance

End of september 1944 22e SS organized a tactical group based upon Kav rgt 52. The battlegroup commanded first by SS-Stubaf Weidemann but he was K.I.A. and was replaced as regimental commander by SS-Hstuf Vandieken and as kampfgruppe commander by SS-Hstuf Ameiser.
Kampfgruppe was stationned in Mezetuer area near Harmas River.
Beginning october, the kampfgruppe was split in 2 : most of Rgt 52 commanded by Vendieken manage to break out to the southern bank (cavalry swam across Harmas river with their horse)s. The remainder of the Kampfgruppe led by Ameiser was not so lucky. After a 200 km across enemy territory he reach german lines with 47 survivors.
this escape earned Ameiser RK and promotion to the rank of SS-Stubaf.
SS-Hstuf Vandieken was similarly decorated a little later on for saving his regiment from destruction.
