    The Iron Cross is not a purely National Socialist symbol, but has a much longer and more varied history. It is a German military decoration that was first established in 1813 by King Frederick William III of Prussia during the Wars of Liberation against Napoleon. It was later awarded in various conflicts such as the Franco-Prussian War and the World Wars.

    Historical classification:
    The Iron Cross originally served as a symbol of bravery and merit in war and was independent of political ideology.
