THIS AWARD WILL BE AWARDED TO A PILOT THAT HAS FLOWN IN BATTLE.

Established: 1813

Criteria: The Iron Cross was awarded in three Classes:  The Grand Cross ("Grosskreuz") for senior commanders (only 5 awarded), 2nd Class for individual merit in combat (5 million), and the 1st Class for acts of heroism or bravery in combat (1 million).  The Eisernes Kreuz all looked the same, it's where you wore them that told the difference:  Grand Cross around the neck, 1st Class pinned to the left side of the tunic about 2 in. above the belt, and for the 2nd Class, you merely wore the ribbon looped through the second button hole in the front of the uniform.  The Iron Cross has the distinction of being one of the few Prussian awards handed out to both officers and enlisted equally - probably because of it's long history as an award for valor. The EK2 usually came after a few successful missions (for 2-seater pilots) or the first few kills for a Kampflieger.
