I have read the brief article about Romanian Knight's Cross holders from Feldgrau.com and found their accomplishments quite amazing but like I said, it is a brief article and I wonder if one of you can provide more detailed information regarding this subject. Many thanks.

Unfortunately the ariticle on feldgrau contains some mistakes.

When we will finally launch the website, it will have a biography section, which will contain mostly the generals decorated with the KC.

Hi,

Once I made the mathematics, and I had the satisfaction to see that the Knight Crosses awarded to Romanians equals the combined number awarded to Italians, Japanese and Hungarians.
Regards,
Florin :wink:

I don't know if that information is still available in Feldgrau.net .
If it is still there, it is hard to find.
Since 2003 Wikipedia posted this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forei..._the_Iron_Cross

I am asking if some Romanian generals received twice/again the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. I am not asking about those who had added the oak leaves (upgrade to Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves).
Thank you in advance.
If what I am asking was not possible (if Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross could be awarded just once), I apologize in advance.

I learned another way that the "Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross" could be awarded only once.

I discovered this video on YouTube:

I noticed at least two generals wearing their Iron Cross.
Heros dying in jail - another blessing of the Communist era (that some still regret). mad.gif

The practice of awarding the same medal/order several times was mostly an American/Soviet thing.

Starting from the fact that Brigadier General Corneliu Teodorini ( recipient of "Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves") was in the 6th Cavalry Division, I tried some search to see which of the Romanian armies incorporated the 6th Cavalry Division in December 1943.
I was unsuccessful in finding it. Can you help me ?

You were unsuccessful because the division was subordinated to the German 17th Army in Crimea. See more details here: http://worldwar2.ro/operatii/?article=14
