re: #297 Targetpractice

It wasn’t simply Jewish scientists. Women were totally barred from the sciences except as assistants and even then only until they married at which time they were to retire to the home to raise children. And if you weren’t a member in good standing of the Nazi Party, you might find no labs willing to take you or publish your work. The Reich took numerous self-defeating steps to ensure its “superiority,” convinced that the men who remained would produce far greater technological marvels than “decadent” Western nations.

Oh, yeah. German women were only supposed to be mothers, housewives, and if single, nurses and schoolteachers. Nazi doctrine saw them principally as makers of Aryan babies.
