"The Nazi Iron Cross hangs on a Christmas tree"
..... it says with the picture!! One can see the journalist is well informed....!
Somebody should do a WWII xmas tree, that would be cool. Momma won't let me, I tried!
I think using militaristic symbolically during wartime, to decorate Christmas trees was quite a common occurrence, as a remember in George Stevens "D-Day to Berlin" footage U.S. GI's decorating a Christmas tree for December 1944 with Mk2 Frag grenades instead or class baubles.

WW2 German Christmas cup for candle
here is some german christmas candle cups
As I mentioned in a previous thread there is a Nazi propaganda film made in late 1942/early 1943 called 'Christmas in Germany'-a hoot especially the complete lack of the mention of Jesus Christ (a non person at the time apparently).
Good Lord! Imagine having friends round for dinner with those on the table
