Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class Awards in 1940
During the Battle of France in 1940, does anyone know how many victories a fighter pilot had to score to be awarded the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (Iron Cross 2nd Class) and how many victories a pilot would have to claim to be awarded the Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse (Iron Cross 1st Class). Perhaps someone has a document grouping from this period along with a pilot's Flugbuch that would reveal what was required. Also, would it be possible for a Gruppenkommandeur (Group Commander) to receive both of these awards in 1940 without having claimed any victories himself? Thanks in advance!
