About this item
For sale is a Rare WW1 British Made Anti German Propaganda Iron Cross. These crosses were made by the British from cast iron.
In 1914, a variety of very crude anti-German propaganda versions of the Iron Cross were created by the Allies, and sold to raise money for the war effort and the relief of Belgian refugees. A British First World War anti-German propaganda medal exploiting the German Army's excesses, committed in Belgian and French towns and cities on or near the Western Front, between August and October 1914. Jones and Howell (in 'Popular Arts of the First World War') describe this item as one of a series of 'joke Iron Crosses made in Britain bearing the names of Belgian towns bombarded by the Germans'. The legend 'FOR KULTUR' is a scornful pun on 'the Kaiser's claim to be spreading culture'. This will be sent via Royal Mail 1st class signed for and dispatched within two working days.Disclaimer: Items related to the Nazi regime or the Third Reich sold by dealers on this platform are intended solely for educational, historical, or TV/film prop purposes. Militaria Zone does not promote, and is strongly against, the hate ideologies and atrocities committed during WWII.
