Hitler had declared: 'National Socialism will be an exclusively male revolution', while his cynical spin doctor Goebbels attempted to justify the exclusion of women from politics and public life by declaring that they were being denied an active role in the administration so that their 'essential dignity be restored'. Nevertheless, German women were active participants in the dictatorship, some proving to be as brutal and merciless as their male counterparts., Companion volume to Nazi Women , but this one widens the scope of investigation. No material is repeated as author Paul Roland digs deeper into the subject of Adolf Hitler and his female admirers, and introduces such topics as the women who betrayed their own sex, as well as the women who said No to Nazi ideology, Hitler's Jewish Princess and his valkyries, and the indoctrination of young women into the League of German Girls.
