| This book painstakingly reviews the War Merit Cross from 1939 through the postwar years. Illustrated throughout its 458 pages, hundreds of color photos showing the fronts, backs, pins, hinges, maker’s marks, presentation boxes, and award certificates while clearly laying out the manufacturing details to help identify each medal. In addition to the extensive coverage of each type of medal, the book closes with an illustrated biography section that alphabetically runs through a complete list of recipients of the Knight’s cross of the war Merit Cross, with and without swords, and details how and when they were earned and were awarded their medals. |
