From Military wiki:

Johann Sailer was an Obersturmfuhrer (First Lieutenant) in the Waffen-SS during World War II. He was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, which was awarded to recognize extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership by Nazi Germany during World War II.

Johann Sailer was awarded the Knight’s Cross near the end of World War II on 4 May 1945, while in command of the 4th Battery, 9th SS Panzerjager (Tank Hunter) Battalion, 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen.[Note 1] There is some dispute over the award as it was authorised by Oberstgruppenführer Sepp Dietrich in his position as commander of the German Sixth SS Panzer Army, who claimed to have been given the authority by Adolf Hitler in person.
