His nomination was received by the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Staff Office) on 19-4-1945. There is no file card in the German Federal Archives. The book of "Verliehene Ritterkreuze" (Awarded Knight Crosses) contains his entry under Nr. 5144 which was approved by Major Joachim Domaschk on 28-4-1945. He is listed in the files for rejected or unfinished nominations. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (OdR) 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. Scholz was a member of the OdR.
