Today I can finally announce that the book is at the printer. It went earlier this week. Some of you have been aware that this was in the works, and I am happy to say it is finally ready and will be available this spring. The synopsis is as follows:<O

<O</O
Iron Cross Award Documents of World War II by Brian Razkauskas is the first comprehensive presentation and study of the 1939 Iron Cross award document. It features over 200 Iron Cross First and Second Class award citations and related material and dissects the documents’ various attributes, all while presenting them in historical context. Included are in-depth studies of Iron Cross award regulations, award proceedings, casualty-related awards, unit-specific awards and award document variants. It is likely to be the ultimate source for Iron Cross collectors, and Iron Cross award document collectors and researchers, for years to come.<O</O
<O</O
The book is large format (8.5 x 11), similar in spec to RJ Bender books like Torpedo Los and Red Shines the Sun. It is 304 pages and features a whole range of EK citations as stated above. As we get closer to receiving it from the printer, I will follow up with details about preliminary ordering. In the meantime, you can reach me at info@kleinekillpress.com should you have any interest.<O</O
<O</O
I have included a few pages below to give the sense of the layout. I purposely kept it relatively simple in design, but you will see how the text relates to the award documents and various other related images. These examples are just a taste; the best award documents are essentially held in reserve and can be seen once the book becomes available. I hope you enjoy it and I hope that it joins the list of other great collector books produced in recent years by various collectors and historians.<O</O
