The Kriegsverdienstmedaille (War Merit Medal) was a decoration presented by the Germans during World War II to laud civilian service in connection to the conflict. It was inaugurated on the 19th of August, 1940 and was typically given to factory workers who had surpassed their productivity targets. It was handed out to both German and non–German citizens, male and female, with an estimated 4.9 million medals being awarded by the conclusion of the war in Europe. It was closely associated with the War Merit Cross, which could be granted to both military personnel and civilians for their noteworthy service to the war.
