		the knights cross was the highest medal during ww2.
		But that doesn't change the fact that the Iron Cross already existed long before WW II (see the links in my previous post) and many honorable men (even in WW II) have been awarded with the Iron Cross for bravery, loyality and chivalry.
		And many Germans think like me. That is the reason why the Iron Cross has been chosen as the symbol of the Bundeswehr and many WW II-veterans who later served in the Bundeswehr wore their Iron Crosses with pride on their new uniforms.

	Iron Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sometimes erroneously called the Maltese cross, the Iron Cross (German: das Eiserne Kreuz) is a military decoration of the Kingdom of Prussia, and later of Germany, which was established by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia and first awarded on 10 March 1813.
		The Iron Cross originally was the symbol of the Teutonic Knights (a heraldic cross pattée) and the cross design (but not the specific decoration) has been the symbol of Germany's armed forces (now the Bundeswehr) since about 1870.
		The Iron Cross (a fl four-pointed cross with white trim, with the arms widening towards the ends, similar to a Maltese Cross) was designed by the neoclassical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and reflects the cross borne by the Teutonic Knights in the 14th century, which was also the emblem of Frederick the Great.
