British Women Officers often give orders to men and the men obey smartly and know it is no shame. The British women have proved them selves in this war and stuck to their post near ammunition dumps as well as delivered messages on foot after their motorcycles have been blasted from under them. They have pulled aviators from burning planes meaning their isn't any record of any British women in uniformed service quitting her post, or failing at her duty underfire.

Military conscription

It was introduced in April 1939 before war had begun. The government wanted to avoid mistakes from the previous war; compared to the first world war, the conscription this time was fairer - that both the rich and the poor were called up however, there were a few complaints about it.

Main complaints were the pace of the conscription and how it was too slow. By the end of 1940; 20000 men had differed their call up for the armed forces because of the importance of their occupation. However, in the same period, over 1 million men either volunteered or asked for their call up to be sped up.

On the other hand, conscription was much more controversial in Northern Ireland. Eire never accepted that Northern Ireland was part of Britain. They decided to not introduce conscriptions to Northern Ireland.

The first steps toward Lebensraum occurred in 1935 when Hitler openly violated the Treaty of Versailles by reintroducing military conscription and began rapidly rebuilding the German Army. Hitler then managed to negotiate a naval pact with Britain allowing Germany to have a Navy totaling 35 percent of Britain's fleet, along with a submarine fleet equal in size.

Hitler was very clear about the specific role of a woman in Nazi Germany. Firstly, he saw no point in why a woman should work or be educated because their husbands are there to support them anyway. He believed that women should be good mothers bringing up children while the man of the house was able to keep the house running with a supply of money. Even from the earliest years, girls were taught this at school:

1. Good German women married at a young age to a proper German.

2. The wife’s task was to keep a decent home for her working husband.

3. To have children who will ‘boost’ the population.

Another early law was passed by Hitler once he came to power in 1933. This was the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage. It had stated that all newly married couples would get a government loan of 1000 marks which was about 9 months average income however; this loan was not simply to be paid back. The aim of the law was very simple - to encourage newlyweds and to have as many children as they could.

In addition, there was also a more long term and sinister aspect to this: as Germany grew she would need more soldiers and mothers; hence a booming population was needed with young boys groomed into being soldiers and young girls being groomed into being young mothers. If Hitler wanted more living space (("lebensraum")), in order for this task to be carried out, he required a deliberately boosted population to fill the spaces gained in the Eastern Europe.

As there was such a desire to increase the German population, a law was discussed in 1943 among Nazi leaders that all women - married or single - should have 4 children and that the fathers of these children had to be "racially pure". Women were not expected to work in Nazi Germany . In Weimar Germany there had been 100,000 female teachers, 3000 female doctors and 13,000 female musicians. Within months of Hitler coming to power:

1. Many female doctors and civil servants were sacked.

2. This was followed by sacking female teachers and lawyers.

3. As housewives and mothers, their lives were controlled.

4. They weren't allowed make-up or trousers.

5. Only flat shoes were expected to be worn.

6. Were discouraged from slimming as this was considered bad for child birth.

7. Were discouraged from smoking ((as it was considered non-German to do so)).

8. NOT considered a social problem if an unmarried woman had a child.

The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy. In Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, concentration camps (Konzentrationslager; KL or KZ) were an integral feature of the regime.

Hitler believed that education was key, he wrote the 'Mein Kampf' , while he was serving in prison. He wanted to create a younger generation that was stronger. Hitler wanted control of education, he thought that by having control he could cultivate a more loyal following for Hitler and the Nazi's because it was known that education would create loyal Nazi's, by the time they finished school. Much of the educating system was based around hitlers personal experience and he believed that caring for the physical well-being of the young was extremely crucial and was the first duty of the state. . Hitler wanted to push national pride in schools as he used subjects such a biology to push forward race ideas.

“This new Reich will give its youth to no one but will itself take over youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.” (Hitler) showing that hitler thought very highly of education and strongly enforced it.

Hitler believed that two basic ideas underwrote education in Nazi Germany:

The first was that the importance of race had to be burned into the heart and soul of all children in Germany.

Secondly, Hitler believed that education had to prepare the youth of Germany for war if it came and not to fear death.

"In the Germanic nations there has never been anything else than equality of rights for women. Both sexes have their rights, their tasks, and these tasks were in the case of each equal in dignity and value, and therefore man and woman were on an equality."

Hitler in 1935

The Nazi regime despised many groups which it thought were racially or socially inferior (untermensch = subhuman) - people they called the 'germs of destruction'.

Jews

Jews, such as Anne Frank, who the Germans systematically persecuted were forced into walled ghettos, put into concentration camps and used for medical experiments. In the end the Nazis devised the final solution of genocide. This was know as the Holocaust.

Gypsies

Gypsies were treated almost as badly as Jews, however 85% of Germany's gypsies were killed.

Black people who lived in Germany were sterilized and killed.

5000 mentally disabled babies were killed between 1939-1945.

72,000 mentally ill patients were killed between 1939-1941
