WW2 German War Merit Cross 2nd Class without Swords Henderson-Ames coProduct Description: This is a nice example of a WW2 German War Merit Cross 2nd Class without swords. The suspension ring is marked 65. Historical Description: The War Merit Cross (Kriegsverdienstkreuz) was likely the most commonly awarded WWII German decoration. In 1939, when Hitler reinstituted the Iron Cross, he did not reinstitute the non combatant version that had existed in previous wars. As a successor to this, he created the War Merit Cross.
