Iron
Cross 2nd Class
The
Iron Cross was awarded in three Classes: the Grand Cross ("Grosskreuz")
for senior commanders (only 5 awarded), 2nd Class for individual merit
in combat (5 million), and the 1st Class for acts of heroism or bravery
in combat (1 million). The Eisernes Kreuz all looked the same,
it's where you wore them that told the difference: Grand Cross
around the neck, 1st Class pinned to the left side of the tunic about
two inches above the belt, and for the 2nd Class, you merely wore the
ribbon looped through the second button hole in the front of the
uniform. The Iron Cross has the distinction of being one of the
few Prussian awards handed out to both officers and enlisted men equally
- probably because of it's long history as an award for valor. The Iron
Cross, 2nd Class, usually came after a few successful missions (for
2-seater pilots) or the first few "kills" for a Kampflieger.
Awarded
in recognition of a 2nd confirmed aerial victory during War Forces V. |

Prussia. Issued in three classes, the 1914 Iron Cross was awarded
