The Iron Time A History of the Iron Cross

The Iron Time A History of the Iron Cross

 

The Iron Time: A History of The Iron Cross boasts over 1,000 colour photographs and catalogs the rise and fall of arguably the most reknown military decoration ever established, the Iron Cross of Prussia and Germany. Four years of research trace the history of this decoration through Germany and her many military museums. Rare Iron Crosses belonging to the kaisers, kings and political leaders of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Germany are featured in expansive and detailed photo studies. Unusual and unknown stories of famous and infamous personalities including America’s Clara Barton and Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler reveal ties to the Iron Cross thought improbable and incredible. A full exposé of award documents, related military decorations, cases and histories are explored. Complete lists of makers and their corresponding die-stamped marks fill the extensive glossaries. Beyond standard reference materials, The Iron Time features interviews with several of Germany’s highest decorated combat veterans of the Second World War. Their stories are at once chilling in detail and honest in assessment.  Illustrated in beautiful colour throughout, 531 pages. Very large book.
