Unconfirmed, unofficial and illegal awardings:

Awarding according to the War Diary ("Kriegslebenslauf") by Johann Sailer and an entry made in his Soldbuch. Both awardings to the Ritterkreuz (May 4th, 1945) and the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold in the Soldbuch seem to have been added later to the last entry in the Soldbuch of the Nahkampfspange in Silber and are in a different handwriting. No formal evidence to both the awardings (RK and DKiG) have been found with the Bundesarchiv or any other official records.
