This list seeks to eventually contain the total list of recipients of the Eiserne Kreuz 1. Klasse (Iron Cross First Class), across the whole of the Wehrmacht in World War II (Heer, Kriegsmarine & Luftwaffe). This is an ambitious undertaking and may never be completed, but its ulimate goal will be to remain be the most comprehensive list of verified EK1 recipients of the Wehrmacht outside the Bundesarchiv in Germany If you have any questions or wish to seek permission to use this information please e-mail me on:
