Here's the whole sentence:
Al tiempo cristianos de Holanda, Belgica, Inglaterra y Suiza se incorporaron a esta idea de reonciliación y formaron en el 1924 la Orden de Caballeros de la Cruz, la cual más en adelante se renombró “Christlicher Friedensdienst” (cfd; español “Servicio Cristiano para la Paz”).
Cheers.

Order of Knights of the Cross
Information on this organisation is almost impossible to come by, and what there is seems to be in German. It includes the German Wikipedia page on "Youth Action for Peace", which Natalia has cited. Very similar information can be found in this book (in German):

I don't think there's any sensible alternative to a literal translation here. The name of the organisation founded in 1924 is given in German as "Kreuzritterorden", which literally means just this: "Cross-Knights-Order". There have been innumerable organisations with this name or similar names over the centuries. Since there seems to be no information on an established English name for this particular one, I think we have to do what has been done in Spanish and simply translate what the original name means.
It's nothing to do with the Teutonic Order, which was originally a medieval German military order, and later a Catholic religious organisation:
