Hi guys,
Recently i find some pics of "kind soldaten" wich are decorated with the EKII
Perhaps is there anybody who can tell me how many "kind soldaten" there where distinguished with this award during the Krieg?

That famous photo was taken on March 22 1945 outside the Fuhrer Bunker. Hitler is presenting Hitler Youth with EK2s, that one is Wilhelm Hubner.
Many HJ were awarded EK2s and even 1s during the last days. There is talk a Knights Cross was awarded on one occasion but not confirmed. Many tank destruction badges were also awarded
A really good book to get on this subject is A Raging Inferno, the HJ at war
