Not especially successful. Nazis had 2 major policices for women: to remove them from the workplace in any responsible category (especially government), and to provide large families. They provided financial incentives for married women leaving the workforce to have babies, and while these programs were reasonably successful the dream of radically increasing the German population through higher birth rates were never realized. In fact, all upper-echelon Nazis had an average of only 2 children per family (with the notable exception of Goebbels). Massive population increases which can be noted during the 1930s were the result of the expansion of the Reich (i.e. Austria, the Sudetenland etc.), not increased childbirth. While no doubt many women didn't mind staying at home to have families, it was difficult (both financially and otherwise) to return to such an unliberated state. Also, the women's organizations did not attract the same sort of numbers as the men's organizations did. Women, therefore, clearly did not agree outright with Nazi policy. Further, women who were considered "outsiders" faced forced sterilization and other abuses prior to the outset of the war.

Why did the Nazis try to change the role of women?

The NNazis did this because they did not want to have anyone that could stand in there way. Durnig this time women were starting to become more powerful and independent and how there own jobs. This now made women a threat to the Nazis. So Hitler made it so they didn't have to work. They were not allowed to do the things that they were previously allowed to do. This meant that now just like Jews, women did not count and were no longer a threat. By stopping all the women becoming a threat to the Nazis, Hitler had wiped out half the population of Germany from standing in his way. Alex Sexton.

What was the role of women in Germany during World War II?

In Nazi ideology women's most noble and patriotic duty was to produce new Aryan children. Michael Montagne This was the most important duty for German women at the time, but also they were presured into also looking the part. They had to be athletic to help keep their hips broad (going back to the children point), they didn't want the women to wear make-up and all skirts had to be full length. However, Germany desperatly needed workers, all the men had gone to war and Germany needed weapons to be made (money) and so, the Nazis needed the women to once again get jobs as well as being mothers to many children (Nazis also gave medals to women with the most children, 4=bronze, 6=silver, 8=gold)!
