Lorenz Möller received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 4 February 1942 as Oberleutnant and Staffelkapitän 2.Staffel / Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 1. In recognition of the Herculean efforts of the German transport forces to fly in reinforcements and supplies to Heeresgruppe Mitte during the critical winter of 1941/1942, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring (Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe) wished to select one transport pilot upon which to bestow the Ritterkreuz as a representative for the efforts of every transport pilot of Luftwaffe. Oberleutnant Lorenz Möller, who had distinguished himself as a transport pilot in every German campaign up to date, was selected to be this first recipient.
