                            2. Women were actively encouraged to have bigger families
                              1. Women were discouraged from entering the workplace

                                        1. Single Aryan women could agree to have a child with an Aryan SS soldier and would be awarded for this
                                      2. Non-Aryan Women
                                        1. Nazi Policy towards these women was the opposite to Aryan women
                                          1. Wanted birth rate to fall or stop
                                            1. Almost 100,000 women forcibly streralised under the law for the prevention of diseased offspring

                                            1. As war became more likely, women were needed in work
                                              1. Particularly in factories and on farms
                                              2. Far less German women worked as part of the war effort than women in other countries
                                                1. War work became compulsory for adult women in 1942
                                                2. How successful?

                                                      1. Rearmament forced the Nazis to backtrack on their policy about women in the workplace
