The Iron Cross was awarded for bravery, or for 5 shoot-downs of planes, in Germany during war. It was a medal pinned on soldiers (1st class) or hung with a ring (2nd class). Returning GI's wore them as bikers, or on Southern Cal. beaches where it became known as a Surfers Cross, especially after Murph the Surf cartoon wore it.( Also known as Heraldic Cross, or seen sewn on the Pope's clothing).
Remind you of the Biker/Beatnik/Race car/ Beach movies of the 60's? |
