the crosses were captured in winter 1941 during the Russian counter attack near Moscow. (This crosses were prepared to reward German troops for taking Moscow). Mostly BH Meyers I believe.
This is the nicest I have see (its not mine unfortunately!)

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
