Default iron cross

why is some military decoration last used by the nazi regime a popular item being used as backlights, emblems etc on motorcycles and hot rods ?










Is it that it was given for valor ? Does it simply look cool ? i'm not saying it's a nazi symbol - because as you can see the iron cross had a distinct addition in the 1939 version. I'm just wondering why =)

and to be perfectly honest -- i think it looks kinda cool, but i wont use it unless i get something more specific as to why ...

hope someone answers
