At last, someone has written this book. The stories of women on both sides of the Nazi regime have been shoved aside and ignored for too long, leaving only the mythology of Eva Braun, Anne Frank, and Marlene Dietrich. But women were important participants in the war on both sides; on the front lines, in concentration camps, in espionage, in rescue and resistance. Cosner and Cosner's Women Under the Third Reich introduces us to one hundred women whose lives impacted history. Here you will meet an astonishing variety of women, from Yvonne Nevejean, who is said to have rescued up to 4,000 Belgian Jewish children from the Reich, to Irma Grese, the Beastess of Belsen, a prison camp warden known for her brutality. Each account is well researched and documented. Appendices which reference the women by role and by country of origin are a great bonus. Informative, well-written and lively, this book is a must for every serious student of history.
