WW2 German Third Reich Luftwaffe Cloth German Cross In Gold

~ WW2 German Third Reich Luftwaffe Cloth German Cross In Gold ~

Also known as the War Order of the German Cross, or the DK (Deutsches Kreuz), this award, designed by Professor Klein of Munich, was intended to reward combat gallantry, ranking in precedence between the Iron Cross 1st Class and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. It was not, however, a part of the Iron Cross series of awards, being used in tandem with these, and worn on the right breast. Some 30,000 were awarded to members of the German armed forces between September 1941 and the end of the war.
