List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (M)

This is a partial list of individuals whose last names begin with the letter "M" who were awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was a high military decoration awarded for extreme bravery or successful command. This list is based upon published sources and is subject to ongoing research and revision. Not all individuals listed are uniformly documented across all sources, and discrepancies may exist regarding rank, unit, and date of award. Further research is recommended for definitive information. This is not a comprehensive list, as many recipients' names are either unavailable or their awards are unconfirmed. The list is organized alphabetically by last name and typically includes the recipient's name, rank, branch of service (e.g., Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, Waffen-SS), unit, and the date of the award. Further details regarding the specific reasons for the award are generally not included within this list format. Note that acceptance of the Knight's Cross was not always voluntary, and inclusion on this list should not be interpreted as an endorsement of Nazi ideology or actions. This list serves primarily as a historical record.
