"France has issued a similar medal since 1920, but the idea really picked up steam when Adolf Hitler first conferred a similar honor on German mothers of eight or more children in 1939, calling it the Cross of Honour of the German Mother."
Butler noted that 3 million women received the medal from 1939-1944. Jews were excluded.
