The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Pflugbeil saw notable action on the Eastern Front, where he managed VI Fliegerkorps during the Second Battle of Kharkov, Battle of Stalingrad and Siege of Sevastopol. Kurt Pflugbeil was captured by Soviet troops in the Courland Pocket in 1945. In 1950 he was sentenced to 25 years hard labour, but was released early in 1954 due to ill health.
