Die Panzerknacker - the holders of the tank destruction badge

#1

Post by Daniel L » 14 Dec 2002, 20:10

I decided to try to make an effort in gathering the names of soldiers that recieved the tank destruction badge (panzervernichtungsabzeichen aka Sonderabzeichen für das Niederkämpfen von Panzerkampfwagen durch Einzelkämpfer). Mind you that 18.541 of the silver and 421
of the gold badges were handed out. With the help of Mark V. and others who have posted information on the thread about panzerknackers (http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... erknackers) as well as doing some searching on feldgrau and the german awards forum I was able to make a little list. This list contains names of panzerknackers who aren't listed on Marcus list (http://www.axishistory.com/other-aspect ... tion-badge). I hope that this research can be to some use to you or atleast that you think it's interesting. I also hope that this means that Marcus will update his list. I doubt this list is totally correct so I hope people who are able to correct information and make further contributions will do so.

Attention: Please see page 19 for the latest version of the list.

# These ones aren't KC holders but were considered as such for sometime, this of course doesn't mean they didn't destroy the number of panzers in question. I guess either the documents about the award don't exist anymore or they just thought they should have received it. Another thing you must understand is that Hitler gave an order to decorate any soldier, who destroyed more then 6 tanks with a Pz.Faust or Pz.Schreck, with KC. ( Mark's note)

Thanks Juha, they are now added. I appreciate your help and it was nice of you to post the pictures. Does anyone know if Obersturmführer Willi Hein, 5. SS Pz. Regt. 'Wiking' was a holder of the badge?

In the book i mentioned,he is called Dorr,even in German language text,so it must be without dotts.

You have very interesting project going Daniel.I'll try to find more award holders.

Last patch.

Fallschirm-Fahnenjunker-Oberfeldwebel Georg Schmitz. 4./Fsch.Pi.Btl.1
He destroyed one tank in Cassino.There's a photo of his award document in page 558 in Fallschirmjäger Rgt.3.A Pictural History.

SS-Obersturmfuhrer Christian Dall.He was commander of 13th Company/Regiment Norge.Page 135 in Richard Landwehr-Nordic Warriors says that he was awarded with Tank Destruction badge.

That's all i could find from my bookshelf.

Cheers Juha
