For the Germans/Prussians it is the star of the grand cross of the order of the iron cross. Only two men have ever been awarded this honour they are Gebhard von Blucher 1813 and Paul von Hindenburg 1918. There was a plan under Hitler to award the most successful German general of the war with a star but that of course never happened. Therefore the highest award given to a German commandant in ww2 was to oberst Hans Ulrich Rudell it is the knights cross with golden oak leaves crossed swords and diamond pips.
