EIGHTY years ago this month, on March 7 1939 as war clouds gathered over Europe, and just nine days before Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, German woman Gertrud Scholtz-Klink whom Adolf Hitler had described as the perfect nazi female landed at Croydon Airport.
When Hitler had come to power in 1933, he appointed long time nazi supporter Scholtz-Klink as Reich’s women’s “fuhrerin” and head of the nazi Women’s League.
Ironically, Scholtz-Klink had long argued against the participation of women in politics. “Anyone who has seen the communist women scream on the street and in parliament, realise that such an activity is not something which is done by a true woman,” she declared.
