Stuka pilot hero Hans Rudel wearing the Third Reich's highest medal the Knight's Cross with Diamonds.				A proud recipient being awarded his Iron Cross.

History of the Iron Cross / Knight's Cross:  Reconstituted in 1939 by Adolf Hitler, the Iron Cross grading was changed and he removed the Imperial Crown and the "W" from the obverse and all of the reverse except the 1813 institution date.  The additional grade added was the Knight's Cross and suspension devices were added between 1940 and 1944 to denote higher grades.  The ribbon was changed to include a broad red center stripe. The men who proudly wore the Knight's Cross had distinguished themselves in battle. The Ritterkreuzträgers became the heroes of an adoring Nazi Germany. In fact, to this day the Ritterkreuzträgers are still held in high esteem in their own communities.

• Wish to tell you I was most impressed by the quality of the iron cross first class I ordered from you a while ago. I have been carrying it ever since in my wallet. I recently showed it to a friend of mine who is a historian writing a series of books of fiction on the history of WW1 and WW2 from the German perspective (most fascinating books). My friend thought the iron cross was an original. Keep on your remarkable work. - François

I am also very impressed with your prompt service, I waited just over a week for my order, which is excellent considering I used snail mail to send in my order! My collection sure looks a lot nicer all of a sudden, I can't wait to add to it! I will be ordering again from you in the very near future. All my best to your family and business. - Gabe
