Editing Tanoan Iron Cross (section)

== Insignia ==

Every class used a black iron-core cross in a silver frame. The Tanoan eagle appeared above a central swastika, with ''1944'' on the lower arm. The ribbon for the 2nd Class and Knight's Cross had a black centre bordered by white and narrow gold stripes. The Palm grades added a fan of three compact fronds above the Knight's Cross.<ref name="iron-cross"/>
