Mutterkreuz (Mother's Cross)
Hitler was very concerned with increasing the birth-rate in Germany which had declined after the First World War. The Nazi regime organised a propaganda campaign which aimed to encourage women to have as many children as possible. They were rewarded in this with a medal according to how many children they had produced. Should a woman be particularly successful in this respect there were other rewards too. For example, Hitler would be the godfather of any tenth child in a family. |
