I have one from 1914 ^^ 'tis my good luck charm
The oak leaves clasp on the 1813 version are so nice to have, shame they're not on the other ones.

I wear an Iron Cross pendant myself for expressing I am German. Wish I had an actual one but then I would have ignorant americans accusing me of being a Nazi here.Β

Wow great much respect for that!!!
I have also a small one, but most would call me a Nazi, too
if I wear it in the city where many leftradicals are^^

The Germans were the best soldiers of the 20th century, their only crime was losing..Winner is King, Loser the Thief..
The Chinese know this well.

They seem to be respected in military historian circles in their studies and war colleges and such,
but in the greater culture..they are mindless targets in a videogame.


in the US we think we were the best when really most of the effective
fighting in the American military was the southern boys who grew up shooting squirrels and such.
A part of the population nearing obsolescence Β every decade.

Like the Soviets it was our mass of material that won (and they at least paid for it more in terms of blood, Russians were and are tough people).

In the end the German culture was based and subordinated to duty(from the emperor down) and not the mercantile values
of Anglo/America. Such a society produces better soldiers and the Germans seemed to learn from their mistakes and then make changes right away at least in comparison to their opponents.

But they couldnt fight the whole world..

Is it okay or wront to display the iron cross? Those pesky nazis had to ruin it along with the swarstika!

Arminius1871 In reply to The-Polybius [2015-04-16 21:34:46 +0000 UTC]

The iron crosses from 1813, 1870 and 1914 are absolutely ok,
but also the ones from 1939 were often well earned, they were not
all evil criminals.
