Pictured are three recipients of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
From left to right: Günther Halm (1922/2017), Hugo Broch (1922/ - ) and tank ace Ludwig Bauer (1923/2020).
Günther Halm knocked 15 British tanks in just a few minutes in his first battle at El Alamein with his anti-tank gun. At just 19 years old, he was awarded the Knight's Cross by Erwin Rommel.
Hugo Broch was awarded the Knight's Cross after 79 aerial victories (12 March 1945).
Ludwig Bauer served on the Eastern and Western Fronts.
He was awarded the Knight's Cross for his bravery on the battlefield during the fighting on the Western Front. He commanded Panzer II, III, IV, StuG III and Panzer V. He was wounded seven times and his tanks received nine direct hits. After the war he served in the Bundeswehr reserve and retired as Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel).

August 29, 1976. Soviet Echo II-class submarine K-22 seconds before colliding with USS Voge (FF 1047) near Greece. The Soviet captain attempted to avoid the collision by ordering an emergency dive but rammed Voge's port quarter. Both vessels suffered severe damage. Photo taken from the deck of USS Voge.
If he fires one I'll fire one....
