The part about unemployed German women being offered work in brothels is false, despite being published in Daily Telegraph (UK) and a few other major newspapers. Here is the rebuttal:
http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/brothel.asp
If found the Snopes rebuttal to be largely unconvincing. There is no support for the implicit assumption that the Telegraph, etc. used other German newspapers as their sources - in fact, by citing names of women affected that the Telegraph did not, there's evidence that they did their own independent research into the matter. When faced with two contrary newspaper accounts, Snopes resolves the issue by arbitrarily picking the version of the German newspapers, and the last one cited (the biggest "gotcha") doesn't even provide a link to any source.
We don't even know the -date- of that last German newspaper article, and the date here is a big deal. Why? Because according to the Telegraph, prior to the passing of the legislation, there was indeed a plan to put in a morality exemption specifically to avoid the issue, but then they did away with it on the premise that it'd be too difficult to legally differentiate a bar from a brothel or something to that effect. Articles written about the matter prior to that exception being removed could very well legitimately claim that an exception exists, not knowing that the exception would be removed later on.
Snopes went too far as to claim the status of the story as "False". "Disputed" is about as far as they have a right to take it.

ACK! Mistake in my response.
When I said: "in fact, by citing names of women affected that the Telegraph did not, there's evidence that they did their own independent research into the matter."
I should have said:
"in fact, by citing names of women affected that the [German Newspapers] did not, there's evidence that they [the Telegraph] did their own independent research into the matter."
