Description: Prussia's highest military order, the Pour le Merite, better known as the 'Blue Max', was the most prestigious accolade a German serviceman could wish for. Yet fictions and myths about the Blue Max have obscured its long and fascinating history. The author provides a comprehensive listing of the men who were given this high honor from the first recipient, Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, in 1740. But the book concentrates on the men who were given the award during World War I when the honor became famous across the world and was used as a propaganda tool by the Germans to celebrate the heroic deeds of their airmen.Brand new, unused condition.
