It has finally happened! The book is of to the printer and can be ordered for a reduced pre-publication price. Please visit my website www.ironcross1939.com
This is the most comprehensive and detailed book yet written about the German Iron Cross First Class (EK 1) decoration of 1939. On over 600 pages one can find detailed and well researched information about the history of the award, its manufacturing process, award procedures, and, most importantly, precise data, photographs, and scans which will enable the collector or student of this famous and prestigious emblem of honor to positively identify genuine pre-1945 produced examples. The wartime products of over twenty manufacturers of crosses and Wiederholungsspangen are described in meticulous and thorough detail. The book also contains chapters on miniature versions of the award, presentation cases, and award documents.
A special Thanks to all the collectors worldwide! Without them this book could not have been done!
