Andy:

Since German military officers could not belong to any political party, until after 1945 (SS excepted), but yet, took a personal oath of loyalty, unto the death, to Adolph Hitler, it seems to me that the better solution would have been to have wiped the slate clean of all decoration received during the period.

The simple removal of the symbol of the NSDAP, from an award granted by it, seem only a half measure.
