Early Stoffausführung - Heer Deutsches Kreuz in Gold. The embroidered variation was authorized for wear in June 1942, as an alternative to the badge. The cross is constructed out of a multi-piece construction, which consists of; a green felt and blue-purple cotton backing base, that is behind a white silk over cotton roundel and black cotton stitching over a cardboard cutout swastika which is all behind hand embroidered flatwire and multicolored cotton threads. The roundel is surrounded by an early Juncker style, die struck, tombak based, gold gilded wreath. The obverse features a large centrally placed black mobile swastika, on a white round base, which is then surrounded by a gold laurel leaf and ribbon wreath that is marked “1941” to the bottom. The wreath is outlined with a thin twisted red thread to either side and is surrounded by a thin twisted flatwire line. This is all on a dark grey eight-point sunburst pattern that is outlined in flatwire and also lies on a green wool base. The reverse shows all of the embroidery work and prongs holding the wreath, to the blue-purple cotton backing. It measures 2 15/16 inches tall and wide.
