Many became legends of their time, receiving honors for their military achievements.
Among the most famous Luftwaffe pilots are Hans-Joachim Marsaille, Erik Hartmann and Adolf Galander, who left their mark on the history of aviation and warfare in general .
The production of dirks was entrusted to several well-known German arms companies, among them Carl Julius Krebs of Solingen.
