The Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross was meant to
be worn like the Iron Cross First class. Awarded to the most
successful General officer at the conclusion of a war. The
first Star of the Grand Cross was presented to Gebhard
Leberecht von Blücher, 1815 version. That medal is called
the Blücherstern (Blücher's Star). The second version of the
Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross was presented to
Paul von Hindenburg for the German victories over the
British. This is a superb reproduction featuring multi-piece
construction and great detail.
