Well, if the data is correct, the three winners of the Knight's cross who are still alive are:
Heinz Rafoth, born on January 6, 1923 in Putzar, Pomerania.
Member of the 48 Grenadier Regiment, of the 12 Volksgrenadierdivision.
Hugo Broch, born January 6, 1922 in Leichlingen, North Rhine-Westphalia.
Member of the Jagdgeschwader 54
Helmut Wieselhuber, born November 28, 1922 in Munich, Bavaria.
Member of the I./schweres Werfer-Regiment 1.
Helmut Wieselhuber is assumed to have passed almost 10 years ago, he had no remaining family so his death date is a mystery
Thanks for the info Morris....
Then, only two Knight Cross winners still stands...
Regards
Santi
