Two Knight's cross holders from the same village

[Henry Jones]

A Knights-Cross and oakleave owner whos still living is Major Alois Eisele, a well-know man from my familie and First Knights-cross owner from our village (2.000 peoples in 1939)

[Henry Jones]

The second Knights-cross owner from our village was Willi Hägele, a friend of my grandfather

Henry, I splitted this from the Knight's cross holders identification since that thread is for identification of unidentified Knight's cross holders.

By the way, what village is it, Göppingen?

Best regards/ Daniel

[Henry Jones]

Not completely, its Salach, Göppingen is our district town.

[Daniel L]

I see, so both lived there before and during the war or afterwards?

Best regards/ Daniel

[Henry Jones]

Before and during the war, Alois Eisele was awarded after war from our Local council for his breavary, now he is living 5km away in Eislingen

[Daniel L]

I see, thanks for sharing the photos and the information.

Best regards/ Daniel
