This original 1941 example of Frauen helfen siegen, Bilddokumente vom Kriegseinsatz unserer Frauen und Mütter (Women Contribute to Victory - Photographs of Women and Mothers in the War Effort) has a foreword by Reichsfrauenführerin Gertrud Scholtz-Klink and was published by Zeitgeschichte-Verlag of Berlin. The idea for this book came from Wilhelm Havemann and it has an introduction by German author and psychologist Werner Picht who was a Wehrmacht Press Officer during World War II.
The big, sharp black & white photographs in this book show German women during World War II in a variety of occupations that were traditionally done by men from delivering mail to running transit systems. While German men were away as soldiers in the Wehrmacht, the book point out that restless and hardworking German women were doing their duty for the Fatherland at home.
The clear, full- and half-page photos show women as telephonists, bus conductors, train drivers, engineers, plane spotters, harvesting crops and cleaning chimneys, but also as nurses caring for wounded soldiers, entertaining soldiers, etc. Includes a fine full-page photo of famous pilot Hanna Reitsch wearing her Iron Cross 2nd Class.
This 7-1/2 x 10-1/2 inch, 96-page softcover Third Reich photo book is complete and in good used condition. The original 79 year old dust jacket was laminated to preserve it by a previous owner, and prior to lamination the title of the book was added to the spine.
