The non-combatant version of this award had the same medal, but the black and white colors on the ribbon were reversed. The ribbon color for the 1939 EKII was black/white/red/white/black. </p><p>Since the Iron Cross was issued over several different periods of German history, it was annotated with the year indicating the era in which it was issued. For example, an Iron Cross from World War I bears the year "1914", while the same decoration from World War II is annotated "1939". The reverse of the 1870, 1914 and 1939 series of Iron Crosses have the year "1813" appearing on the lower arm, symbolizing the year the award was created. The 1813 decoration also has the initials "FW" for King <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_III" class="mw-redirect" title="Friedrich Wilhelm III">Friedrich Wilhelm III</a>, while the next two have a "W" for the respective kaisers, <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_I,_German_Emperor" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilhelm I, German Emperor">Wilhelm I</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_II,_German_Emperor" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilhelm II, German Emperor">Wilhelm II</a>. The final version shows a <a href="/wiki/Swastika" title="Swastika">swastika</a> representing the <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Party" title="Nazi Party">Nazi Party</a> instead of a letter for a German monarch. There was also the "1957" issue, a replacement medal for holders of the 1939 series which substituted an oak-leaf cluster for the banned swastika. </p><p>When the Iron Cross was reauthorized for World War I in 1914, it was possible for individuals who had previously been awarded one in 1870 to be subsequently granted another. These recipients were recognized with the award of a clasp featuring a miniaturized 1914 Iron Cross on a metal bar.<sup id="cite_ref-dhm1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dhm1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The award was quite rare, since by this time there were few in service who held the 1870 Iron Cross. In World War II it was also possible for a holder of the 1914 Iron Cross to be awarded a second or higher grade of the 1939 Iron Cross. In such cases, a "<a href="/wiki/Clasp_to_the_Iron_Cross" title="Clasp to the Iron Cross">1939 Clasp</a>" (<i><span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Spange</i></span></i>) would be worn on the original 1914 Iron Cross.

During these three periods, the Iron Cross was an award of the Kingdom of Prussia, although—given Prussia's pre-eminent place in the <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a> formed in 1871—it tended to be treated as a generic German decoration. The 1813, 1870, and 1914 Iron Crosses had three grades: </p> <ul><li>Iron Cross, 2nd class, (<i><span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse</i></span></i>, or EKII)</li> <li>Iron Cross, 1st class, (<i><span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Eisernes Kreuz 1.

The Iron Cross, 1st class, employed a pin or screw posts on the back of the medal, and was worn on the left side of the recipient's uniform, like the original 1813 version. The Iron Cross 2nd Class, and the larger Grand Cross, were suspended from different ribbons: the Grand Cross from a neck ribbon, the 2nd Class from a ribbon on the chest. The usual display of the 2nd Class version was as a ribbon through one of the button holes in the recipient's tunic. </p><p>The Grand Cross was intended for senior generals of the <a href="/wiki/Prussian_Army" title="Prussian Army">Prussian</a> or (later) the German Army. An even higher decoration, the <a href="/wiki/Star_of_the_Grand_Cross_of_the_Iron_Cross" title="Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross">Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross</a> (also called the <i>Blücher Star</i>), was awarded only twice, to <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de"><a href="/wiki/Generalfeldmarschall" title="Generalfeldmarschall">Generalfeldmarschall</a></i></span> <a href="/wiki/Gebhard_Leberecht_von_Bl%C3%BCcher" title="Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher">Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher</a> in 1813 and to <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Generalfeldmarschall</i></span> <a href="/wiki/Paul_von_Hindenburg" title="Paul von Hindenburg">Paul von Hindenburg</a> in 1918. A third award was planned for the most successful German general during World War II, but was not made after the <a href="/wiki/Defeat_of_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Defeat of Germany">defeat of Germany</a> in 1945. </p><p>The Iron Cross, 1st class, and the Iron Cross, 2nd class, were awarded without regard to rank. One had to possess the 2nd Class already in order to receive the 1st Class (though in some cases both could be awarded simultaneously). The egalitarian nature of this award contrasted with those of most other German states (and indeed of many other European monarchies), where military decorations were awarded based on the rank of the recipient. For example, <a href="/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavarian</a> officers received various grades of that <a href="/wiki/Military_Merit_Order_(Bavaria)" title="Military Merit Order (Bavaria)">Kingdom's Military Merit Order</a> (<i><span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Militär-Verdienstorden</i></span></i>), while enlisted men received various grades of the <a href="/wiki/Military_Merit_Cross_(Bavaria)" title="Military Merit Cross (Bavaria)">Military Merit Cross</a> (<i><span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Militär-Verdienstkreuz</i></span></i>). Prussia did have other orders and medals which it awarded on the basis of rank, and even though the Iron Cross was intended to be awarded without regard to rank, officers and NCOs were more likely to receive it than junior enlisted soldiers. </p><p>During World War I, approximately 218,000 EKIs, 5,196,000 EKIIs and 13,000 non-combatant EKIIs were awarded.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Exact numbers of awards are not known, since the Prussian military archives were destroyed during World War II. The multitude of awards reduced the status and reputation of the decoration. Among the holders of the 1914 Iron Cross, 2nd class, and 1st Class was <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a>, who served as an Austrian citizen in the <a
