Joseph von Radowitz (general)
Joseph von Radowitz (29 July 1899 – 31 May 1956) was a German general during World War II who may have been a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. Radowitz joined the Bundeswehr in 1950s. Radowitz's nomination for the Oak Leaves was received by the "Heerespersonalamt" (HPA—Army Staff Office) from the troop on 30 April 1945 and approved by all intermittent commanding officers. Major Joachim Domaschk ruled that the nomination was insufficient and disapproved on 1 May and recommended "Decision by Chief of OKW". The file contains no  indication whether this decision was ever taken. A teleprinter message was sent on 2 May to the nominating unit, the cavalry corps, and further messages to the commanding officers of the Panzer AOK 2 and Heeresgruppe Süd: "...was disapproved because ... the Führer criteria for the presentation guidelines have not been met. I.A. signed Maisel" The sequential number "882" was assigned by the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR), the presentation date by Fellgiebel.
