The list contains the recipients of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grades in the SS Division Nordland (also known as the 11th SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division Norland). The unit was a German Waffen-SS mechanised infantry division recruited from foreign volunteers. It saw action on the Eastern Front during World War II.
To qualify for the Knight's Cross, a soldier had to already hold the 1939 Iron Cross First Class, though the Iron Cross I Class was awarded concurrently with the Knight's Cross in rare cases. Unit commanders could also be awarded the medal for exemplary conduct by the unit as a whole.
The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was divided into five grades, excluding the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross:
Knights Cross
Knights Cross with Oak Leaves
Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords
Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds
Knights Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds
