Hello all,
I don't know exactly how to ask this, so just hang in there and try to find my question.
Were early examples of the German Cross, i.e. Godet, heavy examples more likely to be awarded to Officer's and such vs. the everyday brave soldier?
For instance, a lightweight Zimmerman is thought to be a late war example, and was this more of a "soldier's" award vs. that of an Officer?
I am just asking in General, but what kinds of DKiG's were more likely to be awarded to an Officer vs. a proven brave soldier?
Please let me know either way and thanks for thinking about this one.
