German labor productivity in World War II

When the war broke out, many tram drivers in the German capital Berlin were replaced by women.

In fact, after many German men joined the war in World War II, there were also many German women in factories and military auxiliary positions.

I don't know because in western countries, people don't want to publicize these things (male chauvinism), which is contrary to the Soviet Union.

In wartime, German women's organizations not only organized women to donate goods (precious metals, metals, foreign exchange, etc. ), but also mobilize them to help the wounded.

At the end of the war, due to the large-scale recruitment of men by the Germans, official organizations such as the fire brigade were understaffed. At the same time, Germany was attacked by Britain and America, so it was impossible to put out the fire without a fire brigade, so women went to serve.

The most obvious case of the army recruiting women is the German Air Force, which started as an operator. Later, female radar operators appeared, and most searchlight units were supported by women. Many anti-aircraft artillery units are also female soldiers, and a few men are officers.

There are also many women serving in the army and navy, but the number is less than that of the air force, and they are generally civilian.

During World War II, the Germans awarded the Iron Cross to five German women, all of whom were ordinary women except the famous German female test pilot Hannah. It is said that one of them was honored for destroying two Soviet tanks.

In the last battle of Berlin in Germany, many women took up arms and fought.

An older issue of Battle magazine introduced German women in World War II. You can look for it.
