Nazi Women

The Attraction of Evil

By: Paul Roland

Narrated by: Gabrielle Glaister

After the failure of the Weimar Republic, the Nazis believed their mission was to "masculinize" life in Germany. Hermann Goering told women, "Take a pot, a dustpan and a broom, and marry a man", but many still became active participants in murder and mayhem. From the Reich Bride Schools through the Bund Deutscher Mädel and the bizarre Lebensborn Aryan breeding programme to the brothels of the Sicherheitsdienst, this book covers the lives of women in the Third Reich, concentrating on those who sought personal power and influence amid the chaos and death.

The Things Women Do Under a Dictatorship

Lots of intrigue, betrayal, sensuality, unimaginable cruelty, and glimmers of hope come together to tell a remarkable and frightening story that fills in the gaps of the conventional narratives of Nazi atrocities. You'll never think of German women the same way you did before after digesting this fascinating, carefully researched and beautifully performed audiobook.

People are human

There are some interesting personal stories buried in this tale of how we respond to the environments in which we find ourselves. We should not ask why people are attracted to violence and power, but rather how to keep them away from these things.

Unfortunately, human nature being as it is, there will always be people of both sexes like the women described here - who become 'someone else' when the opportunity arises. This is a human tale, and we should remember that almost all of us are capable of committing horrors given the right circumstances.
