Ladies in WWII

Hi Lancer,

I remember reading about the discovery of Bormann’s remains in 1972. Actually read the article about it (which included a photo of his skull) in 1973. They compared the skull with Bormann’s dental records and positively identified it as Bormann’s remains.

Looks like Bormann had a sex drive on par with former US President Bill Clinton.

Hi George,

I remember it too. No doubt identification done by West German experts was positive. The question which remains is:

How long Bormann’s skeleton was in place where East Germans unearthed it?
Perhaps KGB planted it one night before? Who knows?
And week before Bormann’s skeleton was unearthed from some Moscow cemetery and flown to Berlin…
If Bormann was really “Werther”, information about it would be very damaging for soviets.

Yes, I was surprised researching things about Bormann, he was not looking like Clinton but had sex drive like all from Kennedy’s klan + Clinton for a good measure!!!

Cheers,

As an aside, the most decorated unit in the U.S. Army during World War II was the Japanese-American 442nd Regiment. Their motto was “Go for Broke.” The 100th Battalion/ 442nd Regimental Combat Team was nicknamed the “Purple Heart Battalion.”

Excellent job George!

I just spotted something which can be interesting:

This is Olga Goering - Hermann’s sister

Now look at their faces…

Olga’s photo from Axis History Facts.
Hermann’s from one nazi site which I don’t want to mention for following reasons:

I don’t want to make them more popular.
It’s shame to admit to visiting such sites.

Had a somewhat difficult time finding a photo of this WWII lady. Anyone know who it is?

Hiddenrug · July 22, 2006, 9:26am

I think it’s that lady who had her picture taken between 1939-1946 not sure! Well good forum. Amazing how women helped us men in the war.

WaistGunner · July 22, 2006, 7:07pm

Here is the full photo.

Outerheaven · July 22, 2006, 10:40pm

Could it be Rommel’s wife?

Hiddenrug · July 23, 2006, 10:30am

Actually I think it your right. It actually might be The Fox’ wife. If not, maybe a relative?

Paper Dolls - color plates showing womens’ uniforms from World War II.
From “The Armed Forces of World War II”, by Andrew Mollo, Crown Publishers Inc., 1981

British Womens’ Uniforms

American and Canadian Womens’ Uniforms

Soviet Womens’ Uniforms

Sorry, Mollow did not include any color plates for Axis womens’ uniforms in his book.

Just thought that I had to add some photos if for no other resion balance as unless I have missed them I cant see any photos of British Women so here is some.

The first is 342 Bty 93rd SL Regt Royal Artillery the only predominantly female regiment in the history of the British Army.

The second is a glamour shot of a searchlight spotter

The last is two Searchlight detachments put together from across the three Btys for a meet the soldier exhibition in London 1943

Loads more where they come from
