Tim Tezer Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 This is a very interesting little group. Apparently, the Steuben Society of America is still with us. The first paragraph of their "History" page on their web site reads: "The Steuben Society of America, founded in 1919, is an educational, fraternal, and patriotic organization of American citizens of German background. "That means that the recipient of this Iron Cross was either an American of German descent, or a German who moved to America and became a citizen. Given the anti-German fervor whipped up during WW1, and the rise of the Nazis not long after that, this guy must have gone through some uncomfortable times!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yup, this is a puzzler as to where to put it. Technically, I'd have to say that it is an AMERICAN group!!! Quite a prize! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
