Wilhelm "Willi" Dipberger (30 May 1918 – 10 September 2005) was a German Luftwaffe observer and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross ((ドイツ語:Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes)) during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Dipberger was a member of the Hermann Hogeback bomber crew. Hogeback's crew earned the distinction of being the only crew to have all members awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross by the end of the war, and Dipberger was the last of his crew (aside from Hogeback himself) to be awarded after ''Oberfeldwebel'' Günter Glasner on 31 December 1943 and similarly ranked Willy Lehnert on 5 April 1944. ==Awards== * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class (4 May 1940)〔Schumann 2007, p. 62.〕 * * 1st Class (29 September 1940)〔 * Front Flying Clasp of the Luftwaffe for Bomber Airmen * * in Silver (17 May 1941)〔 * * in Gold with Pennant 300 (26 February 1943)〔 * Ehrenpokal der Luftwaffe (20 July 1942) * Crimea Shield〔 * Cuff title "Afrika" (26 May 1943)〔 * German Cross in Gold on 17 November 1942 as ''Oberfeldwebel'' in the III./Kampfgeschwader 6〔Patzwall & Scherzer 2001, p. 86.〕 * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 9 January 1945 as ''Fahnenjunker-Oberfeldwebel'' and observer in the Stab/Kampfgeschwader 6〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 162.〕〔Scherzer 2007, p. 274.〕 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「Wilhelm Dipberger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
