Kurt Knispel (20 September 1921 ? 28 April 1945) was a Sudeten German Heer panzer loader, gunner and later commander, and was the highest scoring tank ace of World War II with a total of 168 confirmed tank kills with the actual number of tanks destroyed, although unconfirmed, being as high as 195. He is counted with Johannes B?lter, Ernst Barkmann, Otto Carius and Michael Wittmann as being one of, if not the, greatest tank aces of all time.

 

With 168 confirmed (possibly as high as 195) kills, Knispel was by far the most successful tanker of the Second World War and is even credited with knocking out a T-34 at 3,000 m (1.86 mi.). He fought in virtually every type of German tank as loader, gunner and commander. He was awarded the Iron Cross, First Class, after destroying his fiftieth enemy tank and the Tank Assault Badge in Gold after more than 100 tank battles. When Knispel had destroyed 126 enemy tanks (with another 20 unconfirmed kills), he was awarded the German Cross in Gold. He became the only non-commissioned officer of the German tank arm to be named in a Wehrmacht communique. As commander of a Tiger I and then a Tiger II, Knispel destroyed another 42 enemy tanks.

 

Though he was recommended for it four times, Knispel never received the coveted Knight's Cross, a standard award for most other World War II German tank aces. Unlike some other commanders, Knispel was not consumed by the pursuit of decorations and did not suffer from a "sore throat", Heer slang for those who lusted after the Knight's Cross. When there were conflicting claims for a destroyed enemy tank, Knispel always stepped back, always willing to credit success to someone else.

 

Knispel's slow promotion is attributed to several conflicts with higher Nazi authorities. He was denied access to the Knight's Cross due to an "Unnnational Socialistic Attitude" and frequent run-ins with military police authorities. It is documented that he severely beat and injured an einstatzgruppen man whom he thought was mishandling POW's in 1944 and also was arrested for looting a wrecked supply train (german). Though looking for materials for his vehicle he ended up with food and booze which was shared with his platoon of tigers. Intervention of company and battalion commanders saved him from severe punishments but it was decided that he would never receive the Knights Cross.

 

Other reports from his crew and comrades of that era state that his general lack of military bearing, sporting a goatee and hair longer than regulations were the reason he was virtually an unknown compared to Michael Whittmann who had significantly less kills but was considered to be the the best tank ace of of the second world war. They also have reflected that only his impressive track-record saved him from ending up in a military prison.
