--The 3-rd Reich "equivalent" to being a Raja: being anointed a Knight of the Iron Cross, of which there were 5 grades. Herman G. is probably on the list. In this incarnation he can become a Raja by wiring in the one Mil; thus (perhaps) being the only person ever to be a Knight of the Iron Cross AND a Raja!
at http://www.tinyurl.com/2k54qx To qualify for the Knight's Cross, a soldier had to have held the 1939 Iron Cross First Class already, though the Iron Cross I Class was awarded concurrently with the Knight's Cross in rare cases. Unit commanders could also be awarded the medal for exemplary conduct by the unit as a whole. Also, U-boat commanders could qualify for sinking 100,000 tons of shipping, and Luftwaffe pilots could qualify for accumulating 20 "points" [with one point being awarded for shooting down a single-engine plane, two points for a twin-engine plane,and three for a four-engine plane, with all points being doubled at night]. It was issued from 1939-45, with the requirements being gradually raised as the war went on. - In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "lurkernomore20002000" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Edg: > If you want to be godlike, you have to master the demonic virtues. > > Lurk: > Tell me something I don't know. > > How bout Rory saying, "Yea, I was Herman G. and I needed that > lifetime to round out some life experience I was lacking so I could > attain Brahman C. in this lifetime.
