Question Oblt. Max Graf Hoyos, SpanienKreuz iGmBr recepient question

Hallo gentlmen!

I have a question: for what success Oblt. Hoyos was awarded such a high award?

Quote:
Gold with Diamonds
It was awarded to those who showed great leadership skills in battle or great merits.
Very feiw pilots got such a high decoration - only 13 fighter pilots and 3 bomber pilots.

Oblt Max Graf Hoyos served with Kampf Gruppe (K/88) of Legion Condor. The only known other pilot, who flew as bomber pilot in SCW and went on Bf110 during WWII was Lt. (later Hauptmann with I./ZG26) Wilhelm Spies, who go Spinienkreuz in Bronze mit Schwerten.
