russian iron cross ????
I saw in a Manions catalog an iron cross 2nd class made by the russians ; the year 1939 was replaced by 1941 and the other side had " for murder and robbery " in german on it. It had an original ribbon. They were put on the bodies of dead german soldiers by the russians. Does any one know more about it ?

or

but they arent providing any detailed info.

The mentioned propaganda Iron Cross was made in besieged Leningrad, as Mint of Leningrad had a lot of free capacity and propaganda officers of the Leningrad front were mostly from University or Academy of Arts and were highly creative. The information comes from a book written by a Russian veteran, who was a propaganda officer on the Leningrad front in 1941-1944
