I decided to try to make an effort in gathering the names of soldiers that recieved the tank destruction badge (panzervernichtungsabzeichen aka Sonderabzeichen für das Niederkämpfen von Panzerkampfwagen durch Einzelkämpfer). Mind you that 18.541 of these badges were handed out. With the help of Mark V. and others who have posted information on the thread about panzerknackers (http://www.thirdreichforum.com/phpBB2/v ... erknackers) as well as doing some searching on feldgrau and the german awards forum I was able to make a little list. This list contains names of panzerknackers who aren't listed on Marcus list (http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/award ... olders.htm). I hope that this research can be to some use to you or atleast that you think it's interesting. I also hope that this means that Marcus will update his list. I doubt this list is totally correct so I hope people who are able to correct information and make further contributions will do so.
Marcus list:
Please note that the numbers who precede some of the following names is due to that they are from a list composed by Mark V.Holders of the Tank Destruction Badge

# These ones aren't KC holders but were considered as such for sometime, this of course doesn't mean they didn't destroy the number of panzers in question. I guess either the documents about the award don't exist anymore or they just thought they should have received it. Another thing you must understand is that Hitler gave an order to decorate any soldier, who destroyed more then 6 tanks with a Pz.Faust or Pz.Schreck, with KC. ( Mark's note)
