RAD Knight's Cross Holders
Can anyone tell me the names of the Knight's cross holders who recieved the decoration while serving in RAD-units. I'm also looking for names of Knight's cross holders who served with RAD-units after they received the Knight's cross.

Additional Tanks Destroyed.
Gentlemen,
I wonder if Gerhard Konopka destroyed additional enemy tanks singlehandedly while commanding a RAD unit? I know that he destroyed four Soviet tanks earlier while in the Heer and won four silver tank destruction badges.

Hello
Heinz Korn was the only member of the RAD to be awarded the RK as a member of a RAD unit per se (even if he is officially listed and included in the Luftwaffe RKT list since his recommandation was approved by Luftwaffe authorities).
All other soldiers whose names are mentioned above were awarded the RK while being attached to the Wehrmacht.
Another 2 fallen in this category : Heinz Pfitzner and Rudolf Kreitmair.
Regards
Denis
