^According to Scherzer as commanding general of the LIII. Armeekorps.[4]
^Walter Botsch's nomination by the troop was received by the مكتب أفراد الجيش (HPA – Army Staff Office) on 27 October 1944, forwarded for approval on 3 November 1944 and apparently deferred. The file card notes in the field for the presentation: "see folder for further leadership reports". A second nomination by the troop was received by the HPA on 5 April 1945. The book of "awarded Knight Crosses" states "deferred" because Botsch was considered فقد في المعركة on 16 April 1945. A nomination of the HPA with number 5082 was created. According to the وسام الفارس الصليبي الحديدي (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the وسام الفارس الصليبي الحديدي. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The presentation date was assigned by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel.[4]
