Silberstrand Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I am guessing this Landsturm guy was just issued this tunic, it looks store fresh.... notice how the EK is on backwards.... It seems that several soldiers prefered the cross on backwards. Me too,is more beautiful with the oak leaves Why is it that in so many pictures we see the combination of an EK2 with one or more women? Would the Iron Cross have had a hidden message? :D I take the opportunity to thank everybody for the beautiful pictures. Iron Cross 1914 is my fauvorite collector's item. Nice post Edited March 15, 2012 by Silberstrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I read somewhere that many turned their Eks backwards after the king abdicated in 1918 so that the royal initials were not displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 a nice pic of a sailor boy... the SMS Regensburg played a prominant part in the battle of Juttland. This guy was on her from 1914, and the pic just after Jutland. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
