Hello all, I wanted to share something I discovered in a new book I am reading. It is called Lone Star Stalag and it is about a German POW camp in Texas in WWII. They excavated and cataloged everything they can find in this camp recently and they only discovered two military medals. The Afrika Campaign and the Spanish Cross with Swords.
There were only 8304 silver crosses with swords awarded. It is kind of interesting that one showed up in the ground in Texas.
here is a link to the exact page showing the Spanish Cross in case you want to see the medal or read about it.

Thank you,
