Sounds like a big problem back then. Say it now like that and you’ll probably be sued and/or strung up for a hate crime.

Heh, heh, where’s Veronika Dankeschoen? And don’t forget the general order against fraternization with them fraulein gals!

On a serious note, there were surely many women in the occupation zones who were forced into prostitution just to survive.

The one of VD as a couple of corpses reminds me a bit of this pre-WW2 political cartoon:

The caption is missing, but it's "Come on in...I used to know your daddy."

Interesting since it is well known that the DOD imported prostitutes to Hawaii to service the military men.

My brother-in-law, (now deceased) said that in WWII pickup girls were known as “Victory girls”.

Some better start using these posters in Florida :)

STDs are on the rise amongst Fla. seniors: “In Central Florida, where The Villages and other retirement communities sprawl across several counties, reported cases of syphilis and chlamydia increased 71 percent among those 55 and older in that same period. And South Florida saw a 60 percent rise in those two sexually transmitted infections among the same age group, according to the Florida Department of Health.” (Orlando Sentinel)
