List of Knight's Cross recipients of the Schnellboot service
The article lists all sailors and officers that received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. I think this meets all the criteria of a featured list article.MisterBee1966 (talk) 16:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Support - another well constructed and interesting list on Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 22:05, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Oppose I assume that all the info comes from the general sources, but the personal info should be cited. Especially the one accusing of a crime (suicide) which contravenes WP:BLP, but prefereaby all the notes.Yobmod (talk) 10:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Whoops, that was a very similar featured article (i clicked a link, but it looked like the same page)- how did that pass while breaking policy?Yobmod (talk) 10:12, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Q: Why does this article exist, if a more comprehensive article with ALL awardees is already featured?Yobmod (talk) 10:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

A: It isn't unheard of. Woody's done something similar with the Victoria-Cross pages, splitting them according to nationalities, service-branches, and wars. Cam (Chat) 06:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed, I have. You cannot get this list of recipients from the main article. They list different things, they are separate areas of study. The main list shows all the recipients, by which grade they received. I can see the point about duplication with List of Knight's Cross recipients of the Kriegsmarine. Indeed, wasn't the Schnellboot service part of the Kriegsmarine, so all information in this list is included in the Kriegsmarine list? Are there any specific reasons for duplication?

 * My main motivation for breaking these recipients out is that two groups stand out when looking at the KC recipients of the Kriegsmarine. The first and largest group were those men that served on German U-boats (see List of Knight's Cross recipients of the U-boat service). The second but smaller group came from the Schnellboot service. Together they comprised roughly 55% of all the Kriegsmarine recipients. The remaining 45% are a mixed bunch of people, some came from destroyers, auxiliary cruisers, battleships, Naval infantry, etc. MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
