[Every year on his mother’s birthday and on Mother’s day he issued medals to German women according to how many children they raised. Bronze Cross: Awarded to mothers with four to five children. Silver Cross: Awarded to mothers with six to seven children. Gold Cross: Awarded to mothers with eight or more children. I have also read the story of how Hitler personally cared for his mother when she was dying of cancer. He cleaned the house and cooked by himself and cared for his mother until she died – he was only 18 years old. Jan]
