Quote:Not ALL iron crosses has the swastika\'s on them that were given out. Some had a 3 leaf style tree on it
If I\'m not mistaken, the 3 leaf emblum was an addition to the cross, given out to higher ranking officers who performed courageous acts, or who followed orders to their fullest, class 3 Iron Cross. I think they were made using the base cross with the swastika on it though. I used to be a huge militaria buff, and that\'s what I remember, but it has been a while so I could be wrong.
