As far as medals go for the BoB the following are relevant:
1.) Iron Cross 2nd Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse)
2.) Iron Cross 1st Class (Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse)
3.) Honor Cup (Ehrenpokal für besondere Leistungen im Luftkrieg)
4.) Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes)
5.) Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub)
All the other medals were of later date or not awarded to frontline units (such as the War Merit Cross and its derivates - this was reserved for people in administrative functions).
