| I am adding 2 pictures of colonel Emanuel Lang. One is a snapshot in which he may be seen wearing the EisernKreutz. The second is another snapshot taken at some moment at Stalingrad. |

| He is wearing both the 2nd and the 1st class of the Iron Cross. |

| Was this the rule, I mean if you had been awarded 2 classes of the same award you had to wear them simultaneously ? |

| Not necessarily. In the case of the Iron Cross, when wearing the 2nd and 1st classes (or the 2nd, 1st and the Ritterkreuz), the 2nd class was usually represented by its ribbon placed near the tunic's buttons, as it can be noticed in the photo you posted. |
