Eccard Freiherr von Gablenz (26 January 1891 (Konigsberg) – 17 December 1978 (Rheinbach)) was a German general who commanded several divisions during World War II. He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, which he earned in 1940. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. As head of the ''Wehrmacht Heer''s 384th Infantry Division, he was flown out of the Stalingrad pocket in December 1942, shortly before the division's destruction. A contemporary Soviet press report described him as having liked his peacetime comforts, such as requiring a nap on a soft bed after every dinner. ''Generalleutnant'' Gablenz was captured in 1945, but was released from Allied captivity in 1947. ==Awards and decorations== * Iron Cross (1914) * * 2nd Class * * 1st Class * Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class * * 1st Class * Eastern Front Medal * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 15 August 1940 as ''Generalleutnant'' and commander of ''7.
