World War II German Women’s Auxiliary Services (Men-at-Arms, 393)

Under the Nazi regime, Hitler's conservative views on the place of housewives and mothers in society limited German women to a much less active role inÂ World War II (1939-1945)Â than their British and Allied counterparts. Nevertheless, the demands of a prolonged war did see German women in a range of uniforms as auxiliaries with the Army, Navy, Air Force and SS, particularly in the signals and air defence services. This unique book explains and illustrates these organisations and their uniforms and insignia, as well as Red Cross nurses, and auxiliaries of the Labour Corps, Customs Service, National Socialist Women's Organisation, and League of German Maidens (Hitler Youth).
