Life of women in Nazi Germany?

Answer 1

women got medals for the amount of children she had, bronze crosses were given to mothers of four or five children, silver for six or seven children and a gold medal for eight or more children. When men and women married they were given a sum of money to set up a home and such things, on the birth of their first baby they would get to keep a quarter of it, and another quarter on the birth of the second child and so on, so this also encouraged women to have lots of children as it was almost as if they are getting paid for being a mother.Hitler wanted to ensure that German women looked traditionally German, so they should have blonde hair worn in peasantish styles for example plaits, have blue eyes, not wear makeup as they would be naturally beautiful, they should have broad hips for child bearing, yet were athletic. Due to a Nazi woman's role being to raise many children, look after the family and to be a good homemaker so in order to do this her clothing needs to be appropriate so she would wear flat shoes, homemade clothes, a full skirt, defiantly not trousers and high heels.

Answer 2

a womans role was to get married, have lots of children and bring them up whilst there husband worked. They had to be fit and healthy to improve their fertility and were under complete control of their husbands. Women who got pregnant out of marriage were sent to lebensborn- houses for single mums. Here they were looked after until there babies were born. if they wanted to stay after that they had to become pregnant again by a carefully selected aryan man. they were bred like far animals in these places. life was ok for women in nazi times if they wanted to be a home maker, if they didnt it would of been appalling. ___ Contrary to official Propaganda, many German women were employed in the armaments industry - rather like in Britain and America.

Answer 3

Women now had their roles. For example, they were to work, cook, raise strong German children and childbearing was now an honorable service for the state of Germany. There's heaps more on this stuff all over the internet and in books :)
