'Nazi Women' is an intriguing and often shocking look at the role German women played in the rise and fall of the Nazi dictatorship. In part,this is the story of how ordinary women were wooed by the Nazis.After decades of conflicting messages,women were presented with a clear and reassuringly female identity as 'bearers of culture for the next generation'.As embodied in Magda Goebbels,wife of the Propaganda Minister and mother of six,German women saw motherhood proclaimed their highest duty, and for the first time,the role of housewife was recognised as a profession. 'Nazi Women' investigates how women formed the backbone of the Third Reich by conforming to the Nazi ideal,learning household chores and eugenics in the Reich's Bridal Schools and ensuring their children joined the Hitler Youth and the BDM (league of German Girls).As Hitler's power grew and war loomed,events took a darker turn,and German women became complicit in a chain of ever more unconscionable acts. As well as transfixing the thousands who gathered to watch him speak,Hitler also enthralled women on a personal level, charming them with his hand-kissing,his eccentricity and,later,his aura of power. But his intimate affairs with women were troubled and controversial.'Nazi Women' explores the female influences of Hitler's formative years: his devotion to his mother,Klara,and his awkward,abstinent adolescence,culminating in an imaginary two-year infatuation.It also traces the turmoil of his adult relationships, including his first,with his neice Geli - an incestuous arrangement that had echoes throughout three generations of his family. The affair ended in tragedy when Geli committed suicide,one among several women known to have been intimate with Hitler who were driven to despair. With Germany losing the war and Hitler's position becoming increasingly untenable, 'Nazi Women' explores the Fuhrer's betrayal of his proclaimed ideals og motherhood and family values amid conflict and brutality. Declaring himself 'married to Germany', Hitler kept his own thirteen-year realtionship with Eva Braun firmly in the background,resisting matrimony till the day before their deaths.'Nazi Women' is a fascinating exploration of Hitler's relationships with the opposite sex,both on an individual basis and on a grand scale. 'Nazi Women' accompanies the Channel 4 documentaaries 'Hitler's Women' (produced by Blakeway Associates) and 'Hitler's Brides' (Flashback Television).
