Third Line (from left to right) Iron Cross First Class Medal

On the right, the Second-class Iron Cross includes the Blue Max Medal, the First-class Iron Cross Medal, the War Wounded Medal in World War I, and the Advanced party member Medal, the Continuous Service Medal and the Military Medal.

The picture on the left shows the traditional crosses such as the Iron Cross and the Meritorious Cross. Generally speaking, the announcement begins with "im Namen des Führers" (in the name of the head of state). Strictly speaking, this medal should have been awarded by the king and head of state in German history, but in many cases during the war, military commanders awarded their subordinates the Knight Cross in the name of "Germany in the name of the people" and "the head of state and the supreme commander of the national defense force".

During the feudal dynasty in Germany, the officer medal was generally awarded by the king himself, while the soldier medal was awarded by the commander. An exception is that the "Eastern Military Service Badge" is issued in the name of the Fuehrer, which in itself means a higher-level badge of honor (as can be seen from the second button of the uniform).

There are infantry assault (Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen), general assault (Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen) and tank assault (Panzerkampfabzeichen). You don't have to say "in the name of the Fuhrer" when awarding prizes.

On the left is Iron Cross No.2 (which does not belong to the Military Medal), and its rank is usually higher than the Military Medal on the right. In the middle is the air force's four-year continuous service badge, and on the right is the military badge. The medal of continuous service is a symbol of veterans in the army, and military service is not a formal reward. The latter two are just symbols of honor.

Since World War I, officers and men injured in battle have been awarded different ranks. Also classified as the seal of honor

The picture shows Sturmabteilungsportabzeichen and Reichssportabzeichen.

The verification seal is awarded to those who take part in certain exams or competitions. Qualification badges (pilot badges and airborne badges) are awarded to people who have passed certain training. It is not awarded to anyone who participates in actual combat operations, but is just a sign of qualification. Be listed as a medal of honor
