As an Unterscharführer, (equivalent to corporal) Franz Staudegger was the first 1st SS Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (LSSAH) Tiger tank commander to win the Knight's Cross.^[1]

On 7 July 1943, a single Tiger I tank commanded by Oberscharführer Staudegger from the 2nd Platoon, 13th Panzer Company, 1st SS Panzer Regiment LSSAH engaged a Soviet group of some 50 T-34 tanks around Psyolknee in the southern sector of the Battle of Kursk. Staudegger used up his entire ammunition supply and destroyed 22 Soviet tanks, while the remaining T-34s retreated. For this achievement, he was awarded the Knight’s Cross.^[2]

Close Paraphrasing Tag Explanation

The section Early life and World War II contains information that appears very closely paraphrased from the book Michael Wittmann & the Waffen SS Tiger Commanders of the Leibstandarte in WWII, which isn't cited at all in that section. Compare the book which reads Franz Staudegger was born on 12 February 1923 in Unterloibach, near Bleiburg in Carinthia. He was the son of an innkeeper and one of three brothers. After attending a secondary school in Klagenfurt and the Spanheim National Political Borstel in St. Paul in the Lavant Valley, in 1940 he graduated from the Wiener Theresianum. At the age of seventeen he volunteered for military serv- ice and on 8 July 1940 to the article which reads Franz Staudegger was born on 12 February 1923, in Unterlaibach, Carinthia (Austria). His father was an innkeeper, and he had three brothers. Franz finished school in Klagenfurt and Spanheim in 1940 and volunteered for the Waffen-SS at just 17 years of age.
