The social cultural life on the Nazi Sate 1933-1939 had a significant effect on the youth and women within society. It is due to these factors that Germany began to implement legislations in order to allow Germany to become a powerful country. Toward Hitler and the Nazi Party, young people were incredibly important as they could be easily indoctrinated (brainwashed) and as they could result in the next generation of dedicated Nazis. Women, on the other hand were encouraged to get married and have children. This is because, Hitler needed more women to produce in order to be able to expand his army and gain more soldiers and more girls to be the ‘homemaker’. It is through this ideology that allowed Hitler to gain more support as the youth and …show more content…

Hitler did not see a reason as to why women should work, and having girls be taught at a young age that their life should be marriage and keeping a decent home for her working husband and too have children. When Hitler came into power in 1933, the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage occurred. This law clearly stated that newly married couples would be given a government loan of 1000 marks which is estimated to be about 9 months of an average income. This resulted in 800,000 newlyweds agreed to this offer as this loan did not have to be paid back completely or not at all depending on the amount of children the women produced. The birth of one child means the 25% of the loan didn’t have to be paid back, two meant 50% and four meant that the entire loan was cleared. The main aim of the law was to encourage women to have as many children as she could suppling the long-term support for Germany as the nation grew. The booming population supplied the boys being groomed into being soldiers and young girls being groomed into being young mothers. Women’s lives were very much controlled within Germany as they were perceived that women should not work in Germany. However, once there was a skill shortage on 1937, a law was passed that meant that the women had to do a “duty year”, meaning that they could participate in factory for example in order to contribute positively toward the ‘economic miracle’. Women’s lives were also controlled in the sense they were not allowed to ear make up or trousers, were not allowed to dye hair and only flat shoes were allowed to be worn. Ultimately, women’s main objective within Germany was to reproduce in order to contribute to the army. Therefore, the social role that women played toward the Nazi Party and Hitler was to contribute children to the country in order to provide for the army and hence make

Where Mason touches on the subjects of blue-collar, white-collar, and farm labor in regards to women, Jill Stephenson 's 1982 text "Women 's Labor Service in Nazi Germany" explores how work and the labor service changed for women during the course of the Nazi Regime.

The Nazi party saw this opportunity and met their community with an alternative, strong leadership.

Source 1 states that “women between 20 and 30 became liable for conscription into war work, for example munitions factories”. This was a huge positive impact for the government as workers who were not working for industries not vital to the war effort, now were. Source 8 says that in 1939 1,092,000 lbs (pounds) were produced where as in 1945 only 597,000 lbs of cotton thread were produced.

During World War I women’s actions became the center of attention in England, Germany and France. While their behavior varied from country to a country it was evident that local authorities felt the necessity to regulate and control women’s behaviors. In England and France, for the most part, women’s flirtatious behavior was seen as immoral and was dealt by making examples of those women and by questioning their character, which ultimately resulted in women’s reputation to suffer immensely. In Germany, the punishment was more severe. According to Todd, “in many of the convictions handed down by the judges across the Reich, sentences were determined according to the immoral extent of the crime.”

Some women were active in supporting Hitler's aim within the Nazi regime. This scenario is evident, as seen through a large number of female supporters who voted to give rise to the Nazi party in 1932 and 1933. (Koonz 1988, 4).Some women who found Hitler’s campaign attractive took their initiative to forming auxiliary organizations such as the creation of the Women’s Battle League in 1926, which served the purpose of socially and politically integrating women into the new national community (Lower 2013, 19). As German feminist researcher Adelheid von Saldern states, “We cannot be satisfied with a description of women as merely the victims and the objects of Nazi policy.

World War II brought upon numerous lifestyle changes for both legal citizens and those who were not considered to be German citizens anymore as a result of the war under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. One of the most prevalent examples of this lifestyle variation was the idea of the new woman. The “new woman” of German society was now solely focused on the present. She made decisions based on the immediate effect that they were going to have on both herself and her lifestyle right then and there. On the contrary, the Nazis’ idea of womanhood and a women's societal roles revolved around how a woman’s actions were going to affect both her and her family in their future.
