Re: Lt. Ernst-Dieter Bernhard, Stab III./JG53
Gentlemen,

So I think Ernst-Dieter Bernhard must have gotten the Iron Cross 2nd Class for his contribution of Operation "Bodenplatte" on January 1st,1945. Several flying missions later plus an air to air victory,he must have gotten the Iron Cross 1st Class. While in the new Luftwaffe after WWII (Bundeswehr) he must have gotten several decorations including foreign ones.
