Additional Notes: The WW2 Order of the German Eagle was established in May of 1937. It was intended to supply a diplomatic order for award to foreign nationals. The Order of the German Eagle consisted of 5 classes and a silver medal of merit. In 1939, slight changes were made to the design, swords could be added to each award for military merit, the award was approved for German nationals. In 1943, the Order was reorganized into 7 classes with both a silver and a bronze medal of merit. Three manufacturers are known to have produced the awards while two produced the merit medals. Each manufacturer can be identified by the eagles mounted between the arms of the cross. Deschler produced awards marked “900” and “Silber”. Godet marked their production with “900” until 1943 and “900” “21” afterwards. C.F. Zimmerman produced awards marked “900” or unmarked.
