Wehrmacht players are very unlikely to have built a Panzer Command before Allied forces have access to armored vehicles outside of particularly one-sided battles. This is all balanced out by the armor-heavy nature of the late game. These combined factors mean that the only regular Allied infantry unit able to even put up a fair fight against the Knight's Cross Holders are the Commandos, who, even then, will still be usually unable to deal with a veteran squad effectively. In addition, these units are very difficult to kill, boasting high HP and Heroic armor. This makes their use simple and obvious- they are an effective Anti-Infantry squad, able to quickly and decisively deal with any Allied infantry unit in almost any situation, outside of full frontal assaults on HMGs. In game, they come in a 3-man squad, armed with StG 44s. The Knight's Cross Holders (often shortened to Knight's Cross or KCH) are a largely ahistorical unit made up for Company of Heroes, with no true real life counterpart- unsurprisingly, the ranks of officer that would wear the uniform the squad is depicted in would very rarely fight on the front lines, though certainly they could be abstracted to represent the absolute elite in any given German infantry unit. Receiving the Knight's Cross was among the highest honours and was only awarded to the bravest, toughest and most battle hardened infantry in the Wehrmacht Arms Force. The Knight's Cross was the second highest military order of the Third Reich, second only to the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross (which was only given to one person, Hermann Göring) It was awarded to recognize extreme battlefield bravery and successful military leadership during World War II. The "Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross"( Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes, or simply known as Ritterkreuz) was a level of the Iron Cross. ![]()
