IRON CROSS: Adolf Hitler restored the Iron Cross in 1939 as a German decoration (rather than Prussian), and continued the tradition of issuing it in various classes. Legally, it is based on the 'Enactment for the re-introduction of the Iron Cross' (Verordnung uber die Erneuerung des Eisernen Kreuzes) of 1 September 1939. The Iron Cross of World War II was divided into three main series of decorations with an intermediate category, the Knight's Cross, instituted between the lowest, the Iron Cross, and the highest, the Grand Cross. the Knight's Cross replaced the Prussian Pour le Merite or 'Blue Max'. Hitler did not care for the Pour le Merite, as it was a Prussian order that could be awarded only to officers. It also appeared on certain Nazi flags in the upper left corner. The edges were curved, like most iron crosses.
