  2. The Cross of Honour of the German Mother but known as the Mothers Cross, was Hitler's idea to encourage Aryan population growth, Awards were bronze, silver, or gold cross depending on the number of children. Eight = gold cross, six for silver, and four for bronze. There was even a Golden Cross with Diamonds for between twelve and fourteen children. The crosses were awarded annually on August 12 (Hitler's mother's birthday), and the second Sunday in May (Mothering Sunday)

  7. This phrase was often used by the Nazis to describe their vision of what life for women should be like. Decide how far they succeeded in creating this vision of a virtuous, domestic and family orientated lifestyle for women within Germany. Virtuous - Having good qualities. Being morally good. Domestic - Spending a lot of time living and working in the home

  8. How does Goebbels describe Women? Do you think women would be happy with this description? In 1929, Goebbels stated: ‘The mission of women is to be beautiful and to bring children into the world. This is not at all as.........un-modern as it sounds. The female bird preens herself for her mate and hatches eggs for him. In exchange, the male takes care of gathering food, and stands guard and wards off the enemy.’

  9. How did the Nazis try to ‘ease’ women out of the workplace? The initial policy was to ease women out of the top levels of the civil service, law, medicine and politics. Women were induced to stay at home by new ‘marriage credits’ and child bonuses. The gradual decline of unemployment, however, created a new demand for labour. The result was the steady recruitment of women into both agriculture and industry, the total reaching 5.2 million by 1938. Stephen Lee, The European Dictatorships 1918-1945 (Routledge, 1987) Did the Nazis remove women completely from the workplace?

  10. What did the Nazis want from German women? You have 6 minutes to read as much information as you can on pages 136 and 137, (white book) As a group of three you have to prepare an improvised speech convincing women to follow Nazi rules

  12. Preparing for war ...but don't stop having babies! The Lebensborn Programme: Unmarried mothers 'donated a baby to the Fuhrer'. SS officers would father the children. Women's employment increased. Employers preferred to employ women - it was cheaper. Hitler believed that a woman's place was in the home. He wanted women to be at home with the children. The Nazis encouraged women to have more and more children As more men joined the armed forces the Nazis needed more women to go to work Do there seem to be some contradictions within Nazi Policy?
