Notes
- Unlawful presentation of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross to Johannes Barge by the Dönitz Government after 8 May 1945. This can be verified by the radio communication dated on 21 May 1945. The presentation date was backdated by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel. Barge was a member of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients.[3]

gollark: God can also be beetroot for entirely arbitrary reasons.
gollark: You can say "god is good", but if you drop logic, that doesn't mean that god is not also bad.
gollark: And also the ability to meaningfully describe gods.
gollark: If you deny conventional logic you lose a LOT of things.
