An unremarkable German Luftwaffe captain of World War II; significant RS coverage cannot be found. The passing claim of notability is the award of the Knight's Cross in April of 1945. This can be confirmed via a book by Veit Scherzer (1-line listing), but this is insufficient to overcome WP:BIO1E and lack of sources. WP:SOLDIER, an essay by Project Military History, has been recently modified and the award of the Knight's Cross is currently not considered sufficient for criterion #1 (highest award for military valour).

 * Redirect: the award seems verified, but there doesn't seem to be enough coverage to warrant a stand alone article, which is the point of what is outlined in WP:SOLDIER. As such, a redirect to the parent list (List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Ba–Bm)) seems warranted. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 02:01, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Ba–Bm). As a verified KC recipient it seems likely to be a valid search term, even if the subject currently lacks the coverage req'd to justify his own article. Anotherclown (talk) 04:01, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Ba–Bm) Unless there is significant coverage to write and article per WP:WHYN, KC doesn't make a soldier automatically notable. A redirect is appropriate here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
