Additional Notes: The WW2 German War Merit Cross 1st Class (Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse) was a significant award during WW2, instituted by Germany in 1939. It was awarded in two variants: with swords and without swords. The swords version was awarded to military personnel for exceptional service that was not directly related to combat. The without swords version was given to civilians and military personnel for meritorious service in furtherance of the war effort. The 1st Class War Merit Cross was a pin-backed medal, typically worn on the pocket of the tunic, similar to the Iron Cross 1st Class.
