Walter Hugo Botsch (27 February 1897 – 7 January 1969) was a German general during World War II who commanded the 19th Army. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross of Nazi Germany.

Awards

  • Iron Cross (1914) 2nd Class & 1st Class [1]
  • Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 (21 January 1935)[1]
  • Clasp to the Iron Cross (1939) 2nd Class (20 April 1940) & 1st Class (19 June 1940)[1]
  • German Cross in Gold on 22 June 1942 as Oberst im Generalstab in the XXX. Armeekorps[2]
  • Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 9 May 1945 as Generalleutnant and acting leader of the LVIII. Panzerkorps[3]{{refn|According to Scherzer as commanding general of the LIII. Armeekorps.[4]|group="Note"}}{{refn|Walter Botsch's nomination by the troop was received by the Heerespersonalamt (HPA – Army Staff Office) on 27 October 1944, forwarded for approval on 3 November 1944 and apparently deferred. The file card notes in the field for the presentation: "see folder for further leadership reports". A second nomination by the troop was received by the HPA on 5 April 1945. The book of "awarded Knight Crosses" states "deferred" because Botsch was considered missing in action on 16 April 1945. A nomination of the HPA with number 5082 was created. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The presentation date was assigned by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel.[4]|group="Note"}}
