Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross | Knight's Cross recipient Walter von Wietersheim of the II ./ Panzer-Regiment " Großdeutschland " sporting the Großdeutschland cuff title, showing the special cuff title in the correct position on the right sleeve The most frequently cited inaccuracy was Sajer's statement that, after being awarded the coveted Grossdeutschland division cuff title, he and his friend were ordered to sew it on their left sleeves ( when it was actually sewn on the right ), an obvious error that critic Edwin Kennedy called " unimaginable " for a former member of such an elite German unit.
