The book also has a section covering the regulations for the awarding and the wearing of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. This section even includes regulations for surviving family members if a Ritterkreuz was awarded posthumously.
Die Ritterkreuzträger 1939 - 1945 by Gerhard von Seemen is an in-depth German reference book listing 7400 names of recipients of the Ritterkreuz from 1939 - 1945 in alphabetical order, a huge number of the members of the SS. The date of bestowal is listed with each name, as well as the rank and unit of the recipient. In some cases a cause and date of death is also listed. For example, a member of the SS Das Reich Division who was murdered by the French Maquis in 1944.
This 6-¼ x 8-½ inch, burgundy cloth 320 page hardcover book was published by Podzun-Verlag of Bad Nauheim in 1955. It is in excellent, near-new condition with its original dust jacket. A valuable resource for historians and collectors, printed at a time when the German government didn't seem to have any trouble with publishers using SS runes in their books as they were still found in every typesetting alphabet - a leftover from the Nazi era.
The photo left is for reference only. It is Otto Skorzeny wearing his Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and SS-Sturmbannführer collar insignia.
