Knight's Cross with GOLDEN oak leaves swords and diamonds.

Is it possible to get that medal on SHIII? And if so, did anyone of you get it? And when/How?
I understand that medal was created having in mind a victory of the axis forces on WWII, and that it was finally only awarded once, to a Luftwaffe pilot.

P.s.: Bad thing about forums is that some people tend to post irrelevant stupid threads:oops:

The highest award was the Grand Cross to the Iron Cross, awarded only once to Hermann Goring, The cross you asked about was the Knights Cross to the Iron Cross with gold oak leaves, swords, and diamonds, awarded only once to Luftwaffe Stuka pilot Hans- Ulrich Rudel. The highest scoring Luftwaffe ace was Erich Hartmann, who recieved the Knights Cross to the Iron Cross silver Oak Leaves, swords, and diamonds.:up:

The Tank Museum did them, mind you that was when I went down in the 1970's. Not sure about now. :hmm:

Mikhayl, I keep a pretty good sense of humor about me, glad I gave you a chuckle. Puts :D

I got the medal day before yesterday:smug:
I think that answers my questions!
I don't think a lousy 26K tons patrol would deserve such an honor, but there you go...

Really? I lost my left ring finger during the war. We should build peg-legs together or something like that! Have like a pirate day for the maimed. What say you?

Aw that's alright. We were thinking about slicing your belly open and exposing your intestines, but I think we'll be good to you and simply let you float in the ocean in a raft. Isn't that what friends are for?

[TomcatMVD]

exposing your intestines
Eeew! That'd be uglier for the people watching it than for me!
Thank god you're so kind!
Friends? Yipieee! I have a Kaleun as a friend! I don't mind rowing all they way back to Wilhelmshaven! I am happy now!:yep:

[Stealth Hunter]

That's good... otherwise we were going to take sharpened sticks of bamboo and then drive them in behind your eyes, stabbing the flesh inside causing you to weep tears of blood. Glad you chose the happier solution, lad.

[Ivan Putski]

LOL, guys a bloodthirsty lot...of pirates YE AREEE. :D

I wonder where can you take bamboo sticks from in the middle of the atlantic, but hey! You're the ace of the deep here!
Now hang me that row and that playboy magazine, it's going to be a long ride!

If you haven't got bamboo, you can always get splinters off the wood panels inside the conning tower where the watch stand...:up:

A box of toothpicks will work just fine, they break off easy under fingernails too, especially after you light them.:up:
