description: Metal awards and decorations of the Third Reich are decribed in exhaustive detail with the aid of 266 photographs. Front and back covers show 26 decorations in full color. The numerous classes of the Iron Cross are examined (with every recipient listed in the case of the rarer grades), along with all military decorations from the best-known to such obscurities as the Army Balloon Observer's Badge. An extensive section also covers decorations awarded for service in the Spanish Civil War and numerous Nazi Party and State decorations. Sections are also devoted to storing, cleaning and appraising decorations.
