For Nazis the role of the woman was to stay at home and keep the household and get children. For example they had special medals (called mutterkreuz) for woman with many children.

There were two female pilot groups in WWII, the WAFS & the WASP:\n\nWomens Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron\nWomens AirForce Service Pilots\n\n\nThe WAFS were a very small band of female pilots headed up by Nancy Harkness Love to ferry bombers to England. They were the first organized group of lady aviators in WWII. They had 28 members and were founded in 1942.\n\nThe WASP were a much larger effort, copying the idea of the WAFS, headed by Jaqueline Cochran founded 1943. There 1,074 WASP. \n\nAll but 1 WAFS pilot became a WASP. The WAFS are often referred to as "The Originals" amongst the group.\n\nRead about them here:\n\nWAFS-\nhttp://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/history/wasp/wasp2.htm\n\nWASP-\nhttp://www.wasp-wwii.org\nhttp://wwii-women-pilots.org/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_Airforce_Service_Pilots

World War II: The Impact at Home\n\nThe quick fall of France to the German army in 1940 shook the strong pacifist sentiment of the American public. Suddenly, Great Britain alone stood between Nazi Germany and the United States. Once the United States was fully committed to the war in December of 1941, patriotism soared in American society. Americans' willingness to carry out blackout and civil defense drills; to recycle metals, paper, and even cooking fats; to work longer hours, but to have fewer consumer goods to buy with their salaries demonstrated the nation's strong support for the war. There were political changes as well, as the country began to shift to the right. \n\nhttp://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture21.html\n\nWhat effects did WWII have on women in America?\n\nWomen began to do the jobs that the men used to do. They worked in factories, steel mills, and on fighter planes. A woman who worked in an industrial or manufacturing job was refered to as "Rosy the Riviter".\n\nWomen married earlier in life, had more children and relied much less on their husbands after the war. The divorce rate in the United States and Britain skyrocketed, compared to previous years. Women held higher paying jobs than in pre-war years, and this caused some conflict when men were discharged from the military and wanted their old jobs back, which were now held by women.\n\nWomen went into the workplace and never looked back. They took over factory jobs, drove trucks, flew military aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean to England, and numerous other jobs that had traditionaly been open only to men. Once the men returned from the war the women were more independant than ever and would never be content to sit at home again.\n\nWomen played the role of helping fabricate weapons and bombs and all the equipment the soldiers would need. Women never set foot on the battle field but they also were nurses and assistants and that helped alot since they needed medical treatments\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_effects_did_WWII_have_on_women_in_America

Women were not allowed to be in public office or vote in those days. The only powerful women in those days were the wives of the president, and not very powerful at that. \n\nAmerican women were not given the vote until 1920.

One of the unintended side effects was the rise of feminism.\n\nPrior to WWII the men worked and the women stayed home and took care of the family. During the war the work force suddenly became 80+% female while the men were off saving the world from communism.  When the men returned home from the war, "Rosie the riveter" soon found out that she was no longer content cooking, cleaning, and taking care of her man and his kids. \n\nAs a side note, I've got to hand it to the women of WWII. I recently spent the night aboard the USS Lexington as a part of a boy scout outing. This particular ship was known as the "gray ghost" because it was reported as sunk on 5 different occasions but managed to survive (a well constructed ship!). Further, when it was commissioned shortly after Perl Harbor the construction schedule was slated for 4 years. She was completed in two. Both of these outstanding items are attributed to the fact that 80% the construction crew were, in fact, women! \n\nYou go girls!

Ilsa Koch- Since her husband was also a SS worker at the camp, she would sometimes bring her dogs and have them attack the women prisoners. She was said to ride around on a horse and chose specific prisoners to be gassed, especially those which had elaborate tattoos . \n\nAfter the prisoners were killed, Koch would take their skins and tan and leather them. She collected the human skins, turning them into gloves, lampshades, book covers, furniture in her home and other household and clothing items. \n\nShe was convicted once and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1947, but the sentence was reduced and Koch was released. She was re-arrested in 1949 and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1951. She committed suicide in 1967.  \n\n\nCountess Elizabeth Bathory-Also known as the Blood Countess, this extremely wealthy Hungarian woman tortured servants and apparently bathed in their blood. She thought blood was the key to eternal youth. She killed more than 600 women, both peasants and nobility. Although she was eventually locked up in her castle and her accomplices executed, she couldn't be harmed because of her status.\n\n\nIrma Grese - Irma Grese apparently gave orders to other soldiers asking them to remove the breasts of Jewish and gypsy women in the camps  or to ask that specific women be gased or killed for her so that she could collect their skins. Irma made lampshades, bookcovers, and other household items from the human skins of the prisoners at Auschwitz.\n\nSS Frau Grese was tried during the Belsen trials and sentenced to death by her own testimony.

Her father though survived, and went back to the hiding place (in an attic), where he found the diary that Anne had kept... good read...

The higher levels of the german military were aware of the scope and magnitude of things. The enilisted men probably knew bits and pieces, but not the full picture, and were not in a position to change it since if they resisted, they would be shot. \nMost of the german people were aware of a little what was going on, but also would be shot or put in camps if they tried to stand up for what was right. Many were killed for protesting it and trying to fight against it. \n\nMy mothers best friend when I was a kid, was the daughter of the mayor of Ulm Germany at the time. Her father stood up to the Nazi's and was shot and killed for his beliefs. My mom's friend, who was 14 at the time, was forced to stand naked in the snow in a bucket of cold water for hours as punishment since she was related. She was forced into a concentration camp, and ended up with tuberculosis. She survived, but the starvation and abuse  effected her health for the rest of her life. \n\nI have never met anyone that was prouder to be an American than she was. Sometimes we forget what we have.

The US used prictures of women working on things like iron, chefs, nurses and such to try to get women to help out. Im not so sure about the Soviet Union though. Ask me about propaganda about the Cold WAr... i know more about that.

No doubt..,they treat women like dogs..,if a woman is raped,it is up to her family to kill her as they consider her damaged goods.Germany is having a massive problem with that going on right now and we will be heading down the same road if we dont stand up to the muslims.You know they did that crap on the air line just to scare the hell out of people.Sick bastards.

Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the control of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), or Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as chancellor and head of state. Nazi Germany worked in close proximity with and was allies with Imperial Japan (under Emperor Hirohito) and Fascist Italy (under Benito Mussolini) under the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis, which participated in World War II against the allies, led by the United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union.\n\nThird Reich, used as a near-synonym for Nazi Germany, is the English for the German expression Drittes Reich, roughly Third Empire, but the second word is seldom translated. It refers to the government and its agencies rather than the land and its people.\n\nThe Nazi Party deliberately attempted to combine traditional symbols of Germany with Nazi Party symbols in an effort to reinforce the perception of their being one and the same. Thus the Nazi Party used the terms "Drittes Reich" and "Tausendjähriges Reich" ("Thousand-Year Reich") to connect the glorious past to its supposedly glorious future. In speeches, books and articles about the Third Reich post 8 May 1945, the 1000 years is often juxtaposed against the twelve years of the Third Reich's existence. The terms were used only briefly and dropped from propaganda in 1939, officially to avoid persiflage, possibly also to avoid religious connotations.\n\nDuring their twelve year rule, the Nazis sent massive armies throughout most of continental Europe. Ideologically, the Nazis endorsed the idea of a Greater Germany, with Berlin renamed Germania as its capital, and integration of all people of supposed pure Germanic origin. This policy manifested itself in the systematic extermination of an estimated eleven million people of racial minorities within Germany and majority populations in some other European countries (Jews, Gypsies, Slavs), political opponents (liberals, communists), social outcasts (the disabled, homosexuals), and politically neutral groups and religions (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons), as well as opposing inhabitants and tens of millions of others as a direct or indirect result of combat.\n\nChronology of events\n\n    * Weimar Republic (includes the events leading to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor of Germany in 1933)\n    * Hitler's rise to power\n    * Gleichschaltung (for the legal measures taken by the Nazis to establish their dictatorship)\n    * World War II (with a focus on military events)\n    * Axis Powers\n\n[edit]\n\nPre-War Politics 1933-1939\nBerlin during the Nazi era.\nEnlarge\nBerlin during the Nazi era.\n\nIn the wake of the First World War and subsquent economic depression, many German voters began turning their support towards Adolf Hitler's radical Nazi Party, which made great promises of an economic, cultural, and military renewal for the fledgling country. On January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg after attempts by General Kurt von Schleicher to form a viable government failed. Hindenberg was put under pressure by Hitler through his son Oskar, as well as intrigue from former Chancellor Franz von Papen following his collection of participating financial interests. Even though the Nazi Party had gained the largest share of the popular vote in the two Reichstag general elections of 1932, they had slim majority in parliament within the Papen-proposed Nationalist DNVP- NSDAP coalition. This coalition ruled through accepted continuance of un-Constitutional Presidential decree issuance under Article 48, prevalent in all Chancellorships since October 1931.\n[edit]\n\nConsolidation of power\n\nThe new government installed a dictatorship in a series of measures in quick succession (see Gleichschaltung for details). On February 27, 1933 the Reichstag was se

It's vulnerable, not venerable...\nAnyways yes I think germany was vulnerable to communism. What I would have done differently is put women in power so that things would be handled gently and efficiently.

Offically no.  The Nazi party or anything like it is illegal in Germany now.  But, depite that there is an underground Nazi party still there.
