Iron Crosses not German

edit

The crosses on the crest are called "Iron Cross", its a symbol of German armed forces since the early 19th century. The "German Cross" was a decoration during WW2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Cross --95.222.188.92 (talk) 17:38, 25 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Actually, they are "crosses pateé sable." Used here primarily because they were the national marking for German aircraft prior to 1918. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:32, 25 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
