Excerpt	Original (document from after war!) Gemeinschaft Deutscher Ritterkreuzträger (GdR) Membership application of Josef Dörfel. Leutnant Josef Dörfel (02.03.1915 † 03.04.2002) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes (Knight’s Cross) on March 4, 1942, while serving as Zugführer (Platoon Leader) of 6. Kompanie/ Infanterie-Regiment 439 of the 134. Infanterie-Division. Also signed by him! With photo attached! Knight’s Cross awarded for: “Oberfeldwebel Dörfel showed exceptional energy as he and his encircled Zug fought their way through the enemy under the most difficult of circumstances. After he and his weary soldiers reached the delaying position only to encounter the enemy once again he once again initiated a breakthrough, leading at the head of his Zug and encouraging them to fight through the enemy once more. It is only thanks to the indomitable willpower and toughness of Oberfeldwebel Dörfel himself that this Zug was able to make contact with its Bataillon after an almost 48-hour operation while enduring temperatures of -23 degrees, constant snowstorms, a lack of supplies and no opportunities to warm up.”
