The Knight' s Cross of the Iron Cross, to give it its full name, owes its origins to the ' Pour le Merite' (Blue Max), an imperial award dating back to 1740. The Complete Knight' s Cross volumes tell the story of all 7,364 men who were granted the award (including all the disputed awards). The three volumes have over 200 photos of holders of the medal and over 100 photos of their graves. Volume One deals with 1939-41 (numbers 1-1267) and is subtitled ' The Years of Victory' . Volume Two deals with 1942-43 (numbers 1268-3685) and is subtitled ' The Years of Stalemate' . Volume Three deals with 1944-45 (numbers 3686-7364) and is subtitled ' The Years of Defeat' . The recipients are listed in the order of the date of award. Each entry starts with the recipient' s rank and name, followed by details of the action or actions for which they were granted the award. Other interesting facts and stories are also included for many of the awards. Burial locations, where known, are also given. Any higher awards (Oak Leaves, Swords, Diamonds and the ultimate Golden award) are also covered.
