HIstory: The Pour le Merite, better known as the Blue Max, was the kingdom of Prussia’s highest military decoration. Established as a Prussian military merit award in 1667 by Elector Frederick of Prussia and revised in 1810 by King Frederick William III for outstanding bravery on the battlefield. This order of merit was generally awarded to high-ranking officers.In World War I, the decoration became famous because it was awarded to German aviators. One of the early recipients during the war was flying ace Max Immelmann also awarded to famous aviators such as "the Red Baron" and Herman Goering and has not been awarded again since 1918. The name of the medal is in French because that was the language of the Prussian court when the medal was created and the medal’s color and Immelmann’s fame led to the British calling the medal the Blue Max.

"This book could save you a fortune and lots of embarrassment." ~ Michael Kelly, PzG Inc. President
Attics, basements, and garages have served as resting places for original nazi war souvenirs, booty, trophies, and collectibles liberated by soldiers during the war with Hitler. Each item had a story, like the GI who picked up a pistol from a dead German Waffen SS officer, took a nazi flag from a town square, or found Hitler's personal copy of Mein Kampf from his night stand at the Berghoff. Even after all these years nazi relics still capture our imagination.
But, as time passes so does the growing rarity of these artifacts and the resulting higher prices make them impossible for many to have in personal collection where they can be held and studied at leisure but PzG has changed all of that by making historically accurate reproductions available to buy at reasonable prices for collectors, re-enactors, teachers, military enthusiasts, and all students of WWII history.
