List of Knight&

 * Nominator(s): MisterBee1966 (talk)

Another list of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients for A-Class review. The list follows the familiar layout and structure of the other A-Class lists of the series. New to this list is the section of Hans Turnwald, who was not identified by the Association of KC recipients. I welcome any constructive feedback. Thanks in advance.

Support with two comments:
 * "The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded for a wide range of reasons and across all ranks, from a senior commander for skilled leadership of his troops in battle to a low ranking soldier for a single act of extreme gallantry." - I think this sounds strange. Maybe, "The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded for a wide range of reasons and across all ranks, from senior commanders for leadership in battle to regular soldiers for a single act of extreme gallantry."
 * "Recipients" section lead paragraph: You're inconsistent with whether you spell out or use numerals for the numbers. Generally in writing all numbers above 10 are numerals and all numbers below are spelled out.

 * Other than that, another extensive and good-looking list. — Ed! (talk) 18:32, 30 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Support on sourcing and citations. No problems, as expected. Fifelfoo (talk) 01:25, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Comment: generally looks fine to me. I made a couple of tweaks, which you might want to check you agree with. This sentence leaves me asking "so what happened?", though: "The nomination of the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Personnel Office) was ready for signature". For instance, they had the nomination ready, so why didn't they complete the nomination? I think it is because the war ended, but it probably needs to be stated.

 * Good question but very difficult to answer. The KC required Adolf Hitler's or his successors (Dönitz) personal approval. Generally speaking Hitler did approve almost everything submitted to him but not everything. In the final days of the war, some senior commanders had been authorized to approve on his behalf. I am still researching to fully understand this. My plan is to someday integrate the approval procedure into the KC article. Until then I think ready for signature will have to do. Maybe we should add ready for signature by Karl Dönitz as head of state? MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:50, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, maybe just say something like this: "The nomination of the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Personnel Office) was ready for signature but the process was never completed." AustralianRupert (talk) 09:58, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Good suggestion! done MisterBee1966 (talk) 20:02, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries, good work. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. This list looks to be the same high quality of the other lists you have written on this topic. I see no problems with it. Keep up the good work! Otto Tanaka (talk) 16:51, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
