Since this issue is stirring up so much discussion here, I think we can all get an idea of the discussions in Germany. Hitler didn't like the Pour le Merite, he thought it was to "Prussian", which is why he created the Knights Cross as the supreme award for valor during the war. Germany to this day stilll awards a civilian version of the Pour le Merite for outstanding civilian achievement. I would hope the Germans would recreate the military version of the Pour le Merite, at least as the supreme award for valor. Why not use the "new" unification cross and call it the German Cross of Valor, 1st and 2nd class?
