History

The Cross was instituted on April 14, 1939, and was conferred upon the next-of-kin of all men who were killed, or died due to illness during the campaign. It was also given to the next-of-kin of men who died due to injury or who were presumed dead.

The Cross was awarded in only one grade, bronze without swords.

There are two versions of the cross; the first version features non-perforated swastikas in the talons of the eagles, the second version features openwork swastikas in the talons of the eagles.
