This article (as well as numerous others by the same user) cover people whose sole claim to notability is that they recieved at WW II medal which over 7,000 other people received as well. I don't think that that qualifies as sufficient notability for an inclusion in an encylopedia. Passportguy ( talk) 14:41, 15 February 2009 (UTC) reply
First, I want to refer to Notabilty guid of the military history project. I suggest that notability of the Knight’s Cross is taken up with the Military history project. My understanding is that the notability of Knight’s Cross recipients has been established before. Deleting an article without the consent of this community seems most odd.

KEEP. An obvious keep. This man, as Misterbee1966 says, was awarded one of the highest awards in German military history. He is an ace, all aces whether they be pilots, U-Boat commanders or Tank aces deserve a place on wikipedia. Would editors be questioning the notability of this guy if he was from the Western Allied nations? How can anyone say this man and his record is not important? Insane.
