Re: DKG : Nazi / HJ members only?

According to Gordon Williamson's "Aces of the Reich" it was a "bridge" between the Iron Cross 1st and the Knight's Cross. So you had to have the 1st before recieving the DKG but could be awarded the DKG after the KC. I have read an account of a Heer member recieving it for destroying 3 Soviet tanks with a panzerfaust at Kurland that wasn't a member.
