I was pretty sure the Iron Cross was a German war medal, but here is more info:

Also Independent Skateboards has taken the Iron Cross as their logo. I hope this helps.

well coming from a german heritage and shit, i think it'd stand for Pride. i mean look at one of the officials...Those fools look tight. I'd make a good german officer. lol

but yeah, i was just wondering. I know people are gonna get the wrong idea since i wear one on my head with a skull in front of it.

Nothing against Germany or its people, but the way they do things is just unproductive. They have alot of laws that make sense, but their work ethnics are questionable. The shops all close really early, so when you get off work you can't get anything you need. And its hard to pay your bills. Instead of having your bank pay your bills or sending a check, you have to go to the place and pay it in person. Just irritating things like that. Oh, and the fact that they try to erase WW2 and the Holocaust from their nation's past. Hitler is to blame for it all, but the fact that they don't even enlighten their youth about what happened to prevent it from happening again in the future is just wrong.

that's true. I wonder what they do teach the kids for history. Hitler had the right idea, so much power I admire him for that. He had the whole fucking country under his rule. And most of the other places didnt even try fighting him. That's dope. But yeah, holocaust and eliminating 'inferior races' wasn't the sure way to go...:\

Yeah, genocide has never been too popular with the locals. I have to hand it to Hitler though, he really was looking out for his country and trying to help them prosper. At least that is respectable on some terms. Ever hear the saying, the intents not as bad as the action?
