Hans Christern (24 January 1900 – 17 June 1966) was a highly decorated Oberst in the Wehrmacht during World War II. He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Christern took over command of the 7th Panzer Division in March 1945 following a severe injury to the division's commander, Generalmajor Dr. Karl Mauss. Christern led the remnants of the division to Schwerin north and west of Berlin, where they surrendered to British troops in May 1945. He was held by the British until January 1946. Following the war he worked as a farmer. He was involved in the CDU, and ran for office in the West German federal election of 1949, but failed to win his seat. ==Awards and decorations== * Iron Cross (1914) * * 2nd Class * Wound Badge (1914) * * in Black * Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class * * 1st Class * Wound Badge (1939) * * in Silver * Panzer Badge * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 31 January 1941 as ''Major'' and commander of the II./Panzer-Regiment 31〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 130.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Christern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
