Hitler won the Iron Cross 1st class during WW1, and German medals were cumulative so he had to have won the Iron Cross 2nd class before going on to win the 1st class for a second piece of bravery. What's more not many Gefreighter were awared 1st Class.
Hilter got quite the combination, a Gefreighter who was recognised as having commited two extraordinary acts of bravery. Certainly this would not have gone unnoticed during his rise to power.
WI Hitler didn't achieve this noteworthy combination? Perhaps he only wins the 2nd class, or gets promoted before getting the 1st class so it isn't quite as noteworthy. Subtle I know, but would this affect his rise to power?
