With regard to 3 classes of war merit cross, I take it you mean the knights cross, as there was no third class KVK?
If you include the Knights Cross Class of the War Merit classes then there is four, included is:
Knights Cross class
First Class Cross
Second Class Cross
Third Class Medal

Then there was the seperate non combattant classes which included:
Knights Cross Class without Swords.
First Class Cross without Swords.
Second Class Cross without Swords.

So in total there were seven classes War Merit Cross/Medal awards.
