No, that clearly came later as stated in the article.
Don't try to change the focus of my statement. It was CLEARLY to make the point that Hitler EARNED a Iron Cross and a wound badge during WW-1,and he did so mostly likely as a private. Privates didn't earn Iron Crosses by staying behind the battle lines as a REMF,which is what this article claims Hitler was. Yeah,he had friends in high places AFTER the war,but this had nothing to do with what happened during the war.
