Awards and decorations
- Nominated for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 8 May 1945 as Generalmajor and commander of 84. Infanterie-Division
Heinz Fiebig's nomination by the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Staff Office) was ready for signature at the end of the war. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The presentation date is an assumption of the AKCR.[1]
