 WITHOUT the active eosopera- W ton of German women, the unofficial total-War general stAH of Germany could never have top. pied over the Republic nor Fearmed the country for war,
 No generalization is more dam gerolN than one concerning wom. on. But the decent German wom. on know only too well that they form c small minority in the sec. ond World War, and that their number has steadily shrunk under the maehinations of the Hitler regime.
 While most Republican women were trying to make their sisters appreciate the democratic priv. ilegeB conferred on them by the Weimar ConStitution, Adolf Hitler, in Munich, was talking 80 as to win support from the women-folk Of the returned soldlery, Everything he said showed that he understood thoir worries about their families. Many of the women had reason for concern in the new restlesshess of their sons and husbands, irritable in the unaccustomed quiet Of home life after the excitements Of the war, To oil women, Hitler said that the family was the kernel around which the new. the ail.powerful Germany would Do built by him and his friends. He was the man who would save Christianity from the onsiaughter of the wicked, godlesS Reds and Republicans. The bewild. cred middle-class women, who felt they were too flne to join the workers in tho Socialist Party, who distTusted tho democrats and got few new ideas from their old eheris cal Centrist Party, hocked to Herr Hitler.
 So did tho frustrated, restless spInsteFs-after Hitter organized the storm Troopers and paFaded them ID and down the streets, plainly spelling for c fight or for roc nance, With the shortage of some four million men Of iiarriageablo age, tho women loved to hear tho Nazie promise c husband for every German Womall-When they became masters of Germany.
 WT0MEN, said Hitler, were too W sacred to the real he.nian of Germany, the NaEIs, to Dc allowed to Ruiley their souls with such loWs ly matters as politics. To permit c woman to run for parliament was c dissertation Of WomRnhood--and the millions of women who could not mako the parliamentary grade thought there must Do something H Ab kHUT 0bAH UVOH KVeDHb b when tho Nazls talked about the inferiority of the female brain. instead, forbidden politics, the Ger. man woman quite naturally broke her neck to get into the Nasl polis tieal Party, WFoking twice as hard to prove herself
 Before long c certain prestige attached te cofBoFtlng with Nazis, Frau v. Ludendorh invited Hitler to her house, and through the ariss tocratic leaders Of Ailti.eemitlsiii, i, Hitler, made the acquaintance Of many society women. fle spoke less Of the Bafictlty of family ilfo foF their entertainment, but eppealed tD their paiisQ German EFejudiceg, o their craving fcr new selsAtip Co their ambition, and BtEangeiy enough, to their maternal iiistliiek There gre today c score or 60 0f aged women ifl various places, each df whom thinks she was the, one who really made Hitierg success possible.
