Citation to the award reads as follows:

Oberleutnant Gunther Ganz epitomizes everything that is expected of a German officer. Since joining the flying services in early 1917, he has demonstrated a consistently fearless determination to destroy the enemies of the Fatherland and has to date shot down 23 enemy machines and observation balloons. He has hunted our enemies in the skies while disdaining injury and death, returning to even greater success and glory after suffering wounds. He is an inspiration to all he serves with.

You make the Vaterland most proud.
