German Red Cross 1st Class Neck Cross with Oakleaves




The Red Cross 1st Class Neck Order was reserved for High NS Party High Leaders or members of the armed forces holding the rank of General Officer. This high social class medal is very scarce, not maker marked, but probably only made by the famous firm of Godet in Berlin.
