Paul awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class?
In certain scenes later on in the movie we see Paul with a black and white ribbon which suppose to show that he was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class. We never seen him get the medal in the movie which means he was given the medal off screen. You can see it when he returns home for a short visit where he goes back to the school and when he meets up with Katczinsky. So was this is an error made by the costume department? Did the author really get this medal when he was up in the front during the Great War?
