Quote:In 1957 a ''politically correct'' version of the Iron Cross (and also Knights Cross) was designed for wear by qualified recipents. A link with photos and some history...scroll down to just below center of the page....

Huh. I learn something new every day...not hard considering what I've got to begin with....

All well and good, but seriously unless these are handed out for summer training, where are German troops ever going to have the opportunity to be awarded these medals?? They're barely allowed outside the wire in Afghanistan & took virtually an act of the BundesTag to authorize even that. I don't want to start a political food fight and get banned but seriously where are German troops going to fight in the near -to-distant future?
