Germany's Most Beautifully Designed WWII Awards

[Johnnyrocket]

I've started a new thread to show some of what I think are the most beautiful of the WWII era (German/Nazi) awards.
From a purely artistic and graphic standpoint these are what I would consider the finest.

Please post some of your own images and thoughts.

Indeed, but it's not WWII era. Only people wearing it in WWII had been awarded it during WWI.

Blue Max by far. Except the fact that is the highest of all its also the most beautiful ..All countries have beautiful awards maybe we could start a topic somewhere where we can post medals from around the world..

War Merit Cross 1st Class. A very basic design, but is exquisite in its simplicity.
