The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross
By Dietrich Maerz, 2007. With the Knights Cross of the Iron
Cross (and its higher grades) Dietrich Maerz takes military collection reference
works to an entirely new level. An engineer by trade, the author utilizes two
major aspects of his profession - logic and attention to detail - to present the
reader with a valuable and almost infallible reference volume.
The combination of reason with the most detailed graphics ever presented
in a militaria reference book make this volume a truly groundbreaking
work. If you are considering purchasing a Knights Cross (or a higher
grade), this book is the next best thing to having an experienced expert at your
side as you consider your various choices. And if you are not thinking of
buying a Knights Cross (or a higher grade) but are interested in the award, this
book will tell you everything you could ever want to know. The book
covers in depth all licensed makers of the Knights Cross, the Oakleaves, the
Oakleaves with Swords and the Grandcross, as well as the makers of the
"Diamonds" and the "Golden Diamonds". Additional chapters
discuss the different cases and documents for these high awards.
Discussions about the LDO, the Präsidialkanzlei, fakes and the immediate
post-war activities round up the picture. The appendix provides the reader with
manufacturer data, award graphs and other helpful information. A 'must
have' for every serious collector of the Iron Cross. Over 500
pictures, the majority in color. Smythe sewn case bound, book cover with black
premium cloth, full color dust jacket. 430 pages.
$110.00 (N, HC)
We also have a few signed, Limited Edition copies
available. The Limited Edition is
protected by a nice carton slip case which shows the "Diamonds" and
"Golden Diamonds" on the outside in a slightly embossed style.
