The War Merit Cross
This book painstakingly reviews The War Merit Cross from 1939 through the post war years. Illustrated throughout its 458 total pages, hundreds of colour photos show 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, with details on how and when they earned and were awarded their medals.
