Portrayed in soft tones and pastels, their beatific gaze stared from billboards and freesheets across the land.
Blonde, fresh-faced and pure, these were the women of Hitler’s Third Reich.
They were prolific mothers, skilful homemakers, hard-working secretaries and dedicated auxiliaries.
They supported their men at war and devoted themselves to the cause of their Fuhrer.
And their Fuhrer treated them with all the delicacy of a courting lover.
When war began, Hitler forbade them to work in the munitions factories for fear they would lose their femininity under the stress of hard physical labour.
Family income benefits were dispensed for every new child, ‘childrich’ families were publicly honoured and the gold Cross of Honour of the German Mother was bestowed on women bearing four or more babies.
Hitler needed a docile and devoted female population to breed the supermen he needed to populate his dream of the 1,000-year Reich.
Even as Allied bombers turned Germany into brick dust, Hitler gave orders that industries which logically should have been transformed into armaments plants continue to pump out lipsticks, nylons and fashion accessories ‘for the gracious ladies’.
In Nazi art, films and magazines, women were always the fairer sex, defending the home-front as their menfolk fought on the battlefields.

“Actually, that is based on fact. Every trooper or pioneer in the United States in the 19th century knew that the absolute worst fate one could suffer would be to fall captive and be turned over to the squaws for “special attention.” The same fears were felt by the Brits in Afghanistan in the 19th century (tribal women with knives and a helpless captive equates to acts that decency forbids be described).”
EXACTLY ! ! !
Rudyard Kipling’s “The Female Of The Species Is More Deadly Than The Male” describes just that fear exact same fear of the ‘squaw’ and her knife.
American Indians were, after all, living a Stone Age technology, so the torture might well have been done with a flint blade.
Wow. The girl next door. /s

If you pronounce that acronym out loud, it sounds a variant of the term “henpeck.”
Here’s some good well-fed German women in 1945, sent on a march out of town, to tour a concentration camp to see what they have endorsed and supported.

(You may need a youtube account to view it, they think it isn’t for the squeamish, and it’s one of the milder films on the subject.)

How do you say “Lurch” in German?
I’m a woman too, and I have experienced the same thing. A little bit in my current workplace, too. But not as bad as some past jobs....some of my former female bosses were downright vicious.
Screaming with jealousy women and adoring men is what I remembvered.
But then, I was in Minnesota.
Cheers!

“...Female guards were generally low-to-middle class and had little or no work experience...”
This is suppose to be a slam at the middle class but it describes welfare qweens to a “T”
Obama’s Big Mammas Shock troopers.
“Looks strikingly like Janis Karpinski.”

“Hitler was never elected. Not freely, anyway.”
As in a parlimentary system, the first one was. Not so sure of the others.
I agree, the crowd at the Sarah Palin rally I attended in Beaver PA was enthusiastic, intense, but always in control.
And those East German female athletes are paying the price for being given those “vitamins”. Major health problems. Some are literally basket cases - can not even walk.
whenever I find myself in a position of having to work FOR a woman I find myself very depressed. Every single time I have been assigned to work for a woman I have found myself on the receiving end of some truly remarkable bullying.
ME TOO!! ALmost every women I hav worked for has been a pain in the butt. My current supervisor is a passive aggressive bi-polar witch. Men tend to drop the drama and just look for results. I do well with that- more clear cut and easier to predict.
