My answer to the question is simple: NO
And before hell freezes over there is no way we will see the Iron Cross in the Bundeswehr .. you will see it. Every couple of years these crazy stories are appearing in the news, about someone who said something and after one or two months every one has forgotten it.
We do award crosses (Bundesverdienstkreuz), and I think the bundeswehr will get something similar in the future, but that is enough.
Btw I agree that Germans are paranoid about their history, but it is certainly not the question wether we should get the Iron Cross back.
