Here’s your chance to pick up a very nice example of a cloth German Cross in Gold. Correct die flaw in the “9” of “1941” as can be seen in the photos. This particular example has a unusual light grey wool backing, I believe for a STUG wrapper. The reverse still retains some of the original paper backing. This piece has just the right amount of wear. A textbook example with great character. The invasion of Russia saw the massive engagement of German troops, and certainly an important increase in acts of bravery. The German Cross was created on 28 September 1941 by Adolf Hitler in order to publicly reward the heroism of the German Legions dispatched to defeat Bolshevism. The Gold class was awarded for repeated acts of bravery or achievement in combat. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
