Big Whoop!!

I'm sure many U. S. veterans who hold these decorations would be
gratified to see your equating them with Hitler's giving himself the
Iron Cross. No doubt they would enjoy your "big whoop" comment WRT these
honors, as well.

In the interests of historical accuracy, and not to defend a monster, I think
Hitler got the award legitimately in WW1 and did not give it to himself.
