DanCz Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I read somewhere that the Germans refer to it as "The Order of the Fried Egg" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBoy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) I agree that this is probably the nicest TR award after the Eagle Order. I"m surprised though that they didn't make these pieces out of silver but out of tombac...many countries' awards of comparable rank are made of silver.

Biber Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I agree that this is probably the nicest TR award after the Eagle Order. ...Weren't Henry Ford and Charles Lindburg given the Eagle order? There's a new (or at least recent) that shows Ford receiving his. I wonder what ever happened to them? I know Anne Morrow Lindburg wasn't very fond od Charles'.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deptfordboy Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) I can believe that Ford received it - he was an ardent Nazi. There is a fascinating account of Hitler's attempts to woo him full-time to the nazi cause in a long-forgotten 1930's book by Ludecke called 'I Knew Hitler'.

Edgar Estrada Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) Take a good look, it?s titled Eagle Orders - top of the page 3 Holy cachucha Batman, now I saw all of it. I can not believe what my eyes just saw. That collection is not from this planet. There are so wonderfull awards there, it is incredible. However, in imo I still believe the most impresive and beatifull award is the Knight Cross of the Iron Cross (and more if it has the adds: oak leaves, swords, etc). But, that does not mean that the German Cross, etc are not beatifull. They are truly very beatifull as well.Thanks rickyEdgar Edited July 27, 2006 by Edgar Estrada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
