Kampfesauszeichnungen

Eisernes Kreuz

The Eisernes Kreuz is the oldest and most iconic decoration awarded for bravery, heroism and valor within the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr. Viewed as common by some, it still serves as a more than adequate token of recognition and appreciation for any soldier going above and beyond the call of duty.
The Eisernes Kreuz is likely the very first of many accolades a Rheinland soldier will earn during his or her career.

Ritterkreuz

The Ritterkreuz is awarded in recognition of long-term field performance and superiority in battles, ever since the 80 Years War.

In recent years even battleships ranked among the tools wielded by these terrorists. Known as a stalwart defender, the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr is often called to assist in taking out these targets and drive them out of Rheinland.
