<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 211915, member: 44"]The cross pinned low on his jacket is an Iron Cross 1st class. The one that appears to be attached to a ribbon around his neck is probably an Iron Cross 2nd class. It seems the back of IC 1st class is flat with a pin or screw backs while IC 2nd class have a ring loop at the top only. It appears this man has received at least 1 of each. 2nd class ones are for a single act of bravery while 1st class for repeated acts of bravery while in combat. </p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
