was awarded an Iron Cross

Iron Cross First Class?
Dresden diarist & Holocaust survivor Victor Klemperer lived under the Nazi regime in Germany for the entire duration of the Third Reich. He won his Iron Cross Second Class during WWI. That award and his totally faithful Aryan wife somehow seemed to help his survival up to the day before Dresden was destroyed. That day he was made aware that almost every other Jewish resident in his complex was to be evacuated to a death camp very soon. He knew he would be the last to go. That very night Dresden and its local Gestapo HQ was reduced to ashes, he had only minor injuries. His wife torn the Judenstern off his clothing, they hid their actual ID papers and bugged out of Dresden right away using fake IDs. Months later they migrated back to what was left of Dresden and resumed a more normal life in postwar Germany.
Victor had a first cousin once removed, Werner Klemperer, whom many Rantburgers would know played "Col. Klink" in Hogan's Heroes.

#4 Iron Cross First Class?

I thought first class was for officers, Gromble Dribble4342, but really I have no idea. NCOs aren’t officers, right? Anyway, after the war he went back to his hometown and became a lawyer and joined the boards of the local synagogue, the Jewish day school, and the town council.
