Crossing the long river of history, exploring the fog, how many things in ancient and modern times, are all in laughter. Hello everyone, welcome to my article, in the late period of World War II, due to the German two-front operation, the shortage of soldiers, tired of coping. The Soviet army and the British and American allies launched large-scale offensives on the eastern and western fronts, and in order to continue to struggle in the war, Germany recruited many female "volunteers" to participate in national defense construction. Although they are women, they are still actively serving the country and working hard. So were the women who numbered as many as 500,000 after the end of World War II punished?
Although World War II was provoked by Germany, the German top brass also knew that if a war was launched against the whole of Europe, German manpower would not be able to complete this task, so they formulated a policy of having only one enemy for a period of time (but this could not be achieved later), and also arranged more "female volunteers" in military positions where women could be competent, in order to release more men to serve in the military and fight for the country.
As early as 1935, before the outbreak of war, the German top brass had already promulgated the "National Defense Law" clearly stipulated: "Every German man and woman has the obligation to serve the country beyond military service in wartime."
In this way, after the outbreak of war in 1939, many German women participated in many military work in the rear as "female assistants of the Wehrmacht", although they also wore military uniforms, but they did not have ranks and positions, and the government never recognized them as regular soldiers. Over time, the war gradually expanded, the German army was short of soldiers, and many male soldiers engaged in air defense units in the rear were drawn to supplement the front line, and most of these vacated positions were supplemented by female and student soldiers.
In March 1945, before the defeat of the German army, the number of "wehrmacht female assistants" involved in non-combat tasks in the German army at that time was as high as 500,000, and they were engaged in military work in many departments, such as air defense, communications, maintenance, weapons manufacturing, medical personnel, file management, etc., and they did not need to go directly to the front to participate in the battle like Soviet female soldiers.
However, this did not mean that these women soldiers did not have the opportunity to go to war, and in early 1945, many people suggested whether to establish a women's combat battalion, trained to fight for the Empire. But this idea was opposed by some, and if the war was saved by women, then there would be no need for the whole of Germany and the German nation to persist, and the existence of the Empire would become meaningless. Moreover, women, whether from a physical or physiological point of view, are really not suitable for combat operations.
As the German trend was over, these female assistants took off their military uniforms and naturally returned directly to the people to do their original work, mother or wife.
Since they were not directly involved in military operations, but only facilitators, no one would come to their trouble compared to the heavyweight war criminals. It is said that the "gentlemen" of England felt that they should not be embarrassed for the women of the defeated countries, so they simply dismissed them. And when they returned to the people, they did not gather, did not organize, and completely returned to nature as if they had evaporated, and many books in later generations rarely wrote about these people. And war should not belong to these fragile people, may the world be away from war, always peaceful, at least let war away from women.
In 1945, Germany was gone and unable to fight again, how did the Soviet army take revenge this year?
Why does it say that the Red Baron, the 80 enemy planes shot down, have a low gold content, is this true?
The German army destroyed more than 20,000 Soviet tanks with one weapon, becoming the favorite of the German army and the most feared by the Soviet army
