Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are wrong regarding the position of women in Nazi Germany?

• A. The government honoured women without children.
• B. Women who produced racially desirable children were given priority in hospitals.
• C. Women were taught to be tender.
• D. Women who bore children with not-so-Aryan features were punished.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The government honoured women without children.

Women were taught to be tender, whereas boys were conditioned to be aggressive and iron-willed. The government awarded honour crosses for mothers, the bronze cross for women who bore four children, the silver cross for women who bore six children, and the gold cross for women who bore eight or more children. Women who bore children with not-so-Aryan features were punished, and those who produced racially desirable children were awarded.
