In what ways were the lives of women in Germany affected by Nazi social policies? [8 marks]

Nazi policy directly affected the lives of women in Germany in the years 1933-1945. One of the Nazi's social objectives was to create a homogenous family structure and a larger Aryan race. As a result, women were encouraged to have several children and in 1936 it was almost made law for women to aim to have at least 4 children. Policies that were actually implemented was the decoration, through medals, of women who had many children; Bronze = 4 children, Silver 6=children and Gold = 8 children. 800,000 women signed up for this scheme and loans were provided by the Nazis to the mothers to further incentivise child-bearing.
