The "Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross"(''Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes'', or simply known as '''Ritterkreuz''') was a level of the Iron Cross. 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,[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_G%C3%B6ring <u>Hermann Göring</u>]) It was awarded to recognize extreme battlefield bravery and successful military leadership during World War II. 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 Holders are made up a squad of three, wearing high-ranking officer uniforms and armed with Sturmgewehr44 assault rifles (MP 44). They are the infantry specifically designed to combat other infantry. Battle hardened, tough, and aggressive, they are capable of killing Infantry even when horribly outnumbered. As they are heavy infantry, they take less suppression and recover from it much more quickly than other infantry. Because they are armed with the STG 44 assault rifles, they are notorious for charging aggressively towards other infantry similar to the [[Stormtrooper Squad]]. They also have the ''Assault'' ability without purchasing it in the Blitzkrieg doctrine, allowing them to throw multiple grenades before charging closer towards the enemies with their weapons, the ability also working a great deal on buildings and base structures. A patch for Company Of Heroes has been released that gives the Knight's Cross Holders the ability to fire [[Panzerfaust]]s.

Unit production is possible here as well. Initially, the Forward Headquarters can only produce new [[Pioneer Squad]]s and [[Volksgrenadier Squad]]s.
