Primarily, women were persuaded to reject Jewish intellectual ideas of emancipation which were deemed hostile for marital relationships and Germany’s future. Moreover, a strong push for traditional patriarchal values reaffirming women’s duty to bear children on behalf of providence was aimed at increasing the size of the German population.

Hitler played on existing tensions with Jews, and used the inherent conflict present within relationships to relate to his audience and solicit support for his vision. The delivery of Hitler’s agenda as a speech allowed many to whiteness his support though long-lasting applause which promotes excitement and acceptance for the party and can persuade resisters to embrace this message. This speech shares similarities to the German Women speech given by Dr. Joseph Goebbels which focuses on women’s role in raising children. ****(site other text) A limitation in this argument is that not all German women wanted to raise their children to be fighters for Germany.

    She believed that the Protestant Women’s Organization was a useful tool to create a bridge between the state and religion. As such, von Grone envisioned her organization as an active participant in the creation of a new state. Even after von Grone was stripped of her title, she fought to be reinstated into the NSDAP. Her opposition to the government was not based on ideology or belief because she wholeheartedly embraced the vision and the values of the NSDAP.

    Eugenics was prominent during the twenties and aimed to improve the human population by reducing the likeliness of defective genetic traits. Eugenics was practiced mainly in institutions for patients who possessed traits that could be passed through reproduction. During the time of eugenics, a young woman named Carrie Buck was sterilized in order to prevent passing on the traits that she and her mother possessed.

  • Women's Role In The Nazi Regime

    Women’s role in the National Socialist party era has been a subject of controversy for many historians. Pre-world war II Germany was a nation filled with crimes and atrocities committed against populations of people that were looked upon as inferior. Many historians saw women as pure victims of the Nazi Regime and others implicated women to be active agents within the confines of the Regime. Some critics argue that women cannot be held responsible for the murderous crimes of the Holocaust because they did not have any direct control over the political sphere under the dictatorship of the Nazi party to prevent the Shoah from happening. Advocates of this framework claim exclusively that German women were entities of their victimization.

The speech was two years into World War II; Hitler assured that Germany needed to regain its pride after her loss in World War I.

Hitler appealed to pride, loyalty, honor, and religion.
