List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Ka–Km)

This is a list of individuals who were awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, covering surnames beginning with the letters "Ka" through "Km". The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was the highest award in the military and paramilitary forces of Nazi Germany during World War II. Its presentation recognized extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. This list attempts to document all recipients whose last names fall within this alphabetical range, providing details where possible regarding their rank, unit, and date of award. Due to incomplete or destroyed records, and the difficulty in verifying information decades after the war, inaccuracies and omissions may exist. The list may include recipients of higher grades of the Knight's Cross, such as the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. Each entry ideally includes the recipient's full name, rank, branch of service (e.g., Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, Waffen-SS), and the date the Knight's Cross was awarded. Additional details, such as specific acts of valor or significant commands held, may also be included if available.
