Nazi Women

The Attraction of Evil

De: Paul Roland

Narrado por: Gabrielle Glaister

After the failure of the Weimar Republic, the Nazis believed their mission was to "masculinize" life in Germany. Hermann Goering told women, "Take a pot, a dustpan and a broom, and marry a man", but many still became active participants in murder and mayhem. From the Reich Bride Schools through the Bund Deutscher Mädel and the bizarre Lebensborn Aryan breeding programme to the brothels of the Sicherheitsdienst, this book covers the lives of women in the Third Reich, concentrating on those who sought personal power and influence amid the chaos and death.

Answers a lot of questions about women in the third reich

If you ever wondered why women are attracted to the most evil of men? Look no further then nazi women. This is a must listen for anyone who wants to understand the psyche of human nature. Very good listen.

The Things Women Do Under a Dictatorship

Lots of intrigue, betrayal, sensuality, unimaginable cruelty, and glimmers of hope come together to tell a remarkable and frightening story that fills in the gaps of the conventional narratives of Nazi atrocities. You'll never think of German women the same way you did before after digesting this fascinating, carefully researched and beautifully performed audiobook.

People are human

There are some interesting personal stories buried in this tale of how we respond to the environments in which we find ourselves. We should not ask why people are attracted to violence and power, but rather how to keep them away from these things.

Unfortunately, human nature being as it is, there will always be people of both sexes like the women described here - who become 'someone else' when the opportunity arises. This is a human tale, and we should remember that almost all of us are capable of committing horrors given the right circumstances.

Poor pronunciation by reader

The reader does a very poor job getting German words correct . This needs to be addressed in future issues

Informative book

This book was very informative about the women in nazi Germany. I always wondered about the role of women during this period of time and this book answer did all

No, but it was still fascinating.

Any additional comments?

Narrator did a good job, but the author should have been more in-depth for a history examining this subject. The material the author presented was enriching.

Detailed factually and well read

Typical Roland stories, thorough, well researched and very well written. And Gabriella does an excellent job reading it.

inaccurate / Tabloid

Reader is fine - but content depends on rumors, inaccuracies. Discussions of AH anatomy & sexual disfunctions read as tabloid fodder - credible accounts on these topics are available. This content is simply speculations. Further bios and histories included are inaccurate and or simply incomplete. Would not recommend.

A Biased, Tabloid-like Disappointment

One of the most frustrating books I’ve encountered. Having listened to ~200 audiobooks on Germany/WWII, this stands out as the worst both in terms of narration and content. The narrator's delivery was unbearable, adding to an already flawed narrative soaked in bias and sensationalism. The book lacked any sense of objectivity, instead feeling more like a tabloid filled with disproven claims and sensational nonsense. If you value well-researched, unbiased history, stay far away from this one. It left me wishing I could get my brain cells back.
