Third Reich Kriegsverdienstkreuz (War Merit Cross) with Swords

Description

This is an authentic Third Reich WWII Kriegsverdienstkreuz (War Merit Cross) with Swords (2nd class), a decoration awarded for acts of bravery, military merit, or exceptional service to the war effort during the Second World War. The 2nd class cross is typically made of zinc or bronze and may feature either a pinback or a suspension loop. Its design showcases a cross pattée with swords positioned between the arms, a swastika at the center on the front, and the date “1939” on the reverse.

The addition of swords distinguishes this version as an award for military merit in combat or direct support of military operations, unlike the version without swords, which was given for non-combat service. A historically significant and collectible piece, the Kriegsverdienstkreuz with Swords is an excellent addition for enthusiasts of WWII German militaria, illustrating both the period’s awards system and craftsmanship.
