The Social Welfare Decoration was a German Civil Award created by Adolf Hitler on 1 May 1939 for services in the social sector. The decoration was issued in 4 classes (4 cross orders and a medal) and was awarded for a wide variety of service, in the social sector, to the German state. Qualifying service would have been with the Winterhilfswerk, the National Socialist People’s Welfare, medical and rescue work, or care of foreign and ethnic Germans. Reinhard Heydrich was awarded the decoration for his running of the Gestapo in the 1930s and for providing “security” to the German people. The infamous Doctor Josef Mengele was also awarded the decoration in 1941, for providing medical services to wounded soldiers and civilians alike on the battlefields of the Eastern Front.
