Berger profiles the 98 German soldiers--out of millions--who received both the Knight's Cross (for extreme bravery) and the Close-Combat Clasp in Gold (for at least 50 days of hand-to-hand fighting) during World War II. This book includes hundreds of previously unseen photos and definitive references and footnotes.
