The Nazi women role in attending the church and being taught of the different policies. In the 1920s, the morals of individuals had declined; hence, the need to reintroduce moral values taught in the religious setting. The church acted as a legitimization tool to the leadership of Hitler, which saw many women respect the stipulated principles. The policies were formulated to influence the lifestyle of women and teach them to be obedient to their husbands and the government. Therefore, many of the churches were controlled by the Nazi who regulated the teachings passed down to the congregation. Importance of the church, mostly to women, was emphasized, as it acted as a tool of control on the Nazi women who paid keen attention to the teachings.
Furthermore, people believed in a higher power, a higher calling which was provided by the community churches. During the war, people required to pray and be given hope, thus, seeking refuge to the churches. The high number of widowers and desperate women awaiting the return of their husbands also influence the importance of the church to the community. During the war, people also need to come together to encourage one another. The church served the role as people would share the experiences. The importance of the church was thus reinforced with the surrounding circumstances. It was thus helping to pass down policies and rules by the Nazi regime to control the people.
Propaganda was used in the early church as a tool to make the women feel guilty for violating the set rules. For Example, women were asked not to engage in abortion as a way of increasing the population; thus, abortion was termed as ungodly and disrespect for life. Some of the churches went ahead to teach on contraceptives; it was termed as the Western influence on the people. Hence, women were encouraged not to use contraceptives either due to religious beliefs or the effects that the contraceptives had on the human body. The propaganda served to protect the leadership of the country by further influencing the people to give birth and remain racially pure. For Example, in 1935, individuals were asked to provide proof of their racial purity before they were allowed to marry. The law was meant to protect the German blood and Honor by not allowing the inter-racial marriages which could bring forth inter-racial children.
Furthermore, sterilization was legitimized, as a holy act aimed at preserving the purity of the German blood and race. The males and female were sterilized to prevent the chances of having inter-racial children in the community—the religious belief of preserving the pure blood of the German-led to the creation of Genetic health court. Thus, if a woman gives birth to a disabled child, the woman could be termed as unfit to, and their genes could not bring forth pure Nazis, hence the need to be sterilized. Other individuals who could undergo serialization by force were the enemies of the State, who were believed to create a generation of hostility to the State. Hence, the Nazis leadership remained strong through passing their ideologies using the religious setting. Their leadership was also legitimized by the religious leaders who falsely spread the wrong policies to the people to establish power and control.
Finally, the Hitler power on the women was based on the preservation of morals mostly by the women. Hitler ensured the women behaved decently, and their role in society was upheld. Many of the morally upright people approved of Hitler’s movement, which saw a rise in the number of marriages in the community and the adoption of gender roles. In the 1920s, there was a rotting moral, a decline in the values of the people which was led by women who thought themselves empowered to do other social roles. The empowerment of women destabilized efforts of the society in promotion of decency and the role of women in marriages. Hitler’s policies had a reflection on the values of the Nazi; hence, the importance of religion in women and helping them reform. Therefore, the Nazi community could go back to the traditional roles of women taking care of their families and men protecting the families. Hence, in the Nazi community, the role of the women was upheld once more despite the growing rot in the society that empowered ladies to do more tasks.
