DATE OF INSTITUTION

AWARD CRITERIA

The Iron Cross was awarded for particular bravery in the face of the enemy and for outstanding merit in troop leadership. The awarding of a higher grade required the previous awarding of the lower grade. Divisional commanders were authorized to award the Clasp for the Iron Cross 2.

AWARD NUMBERS

Accurate numbers are not known but the closest estimation is 40,000 and most likely around 120,000 manufactured.

AWARD DOCUMENTS

The division issued the award document in the format A5 in the name of the Führer and Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht (after mid-1943 only in the name of the Führer) and was signed by the divisional commander.

WEARING METHOD

The clasp was worn in the second buttonhole on the ribbon of the Iron Cross 2. Class of 1914.
