Synopsis "Wartime Relations: Intimacy, Violence, and Prostitution in Occupied Poland, 1939-1945 (in English)"
During the Second World War, all contact between German soldiers and Polish women DS considered an 'inferior race' DS was officially banned. Sexual encounters frequently took place, however. Some were consensual, while others were characterised by brutal violence, and women often sold their bodies as a means of survival. The army and SS constructed purpose-built brothels for their soldiers, but also banned and frequently punished loving relationships. In Wartime Relations, Historian Maren Röger gives a powerful account of these encounters and describes the actions of the army and the SS in regulating relations between soldiers and civilian women. Röger provides new and important insights into everyday life during the occupation, Nazi racial policy, and the fates of the women involved.
