There are reasons why Europeans have discovered the world, that Europeans have ruled the world for a long time. Beachtens und bewundernswert. Jedoch, so besonders ist diese Leistung für Europa nicht. Da gab es noch ganz andere Frauen in Europas Geschichte. Es hat schon seine Gründe, dass die Europäer die Welt entdeckt haben, dass die Europäer die Welt für eine lange Zeit regiert haben.

I talked with my maternal grandmother before she passed away, about her life during the war. The subject was not one she had revealed previously, having married a British army officer in 1952 and discouraged from talking about her past. At the age of 20, in the late summer of 1944, she was called to work for the Luftwaffe in Berlin. She recalled working in a unit under the command of a Major Howart of the Wehrmacht, in a mapping room near/in Kustrine Platz. As far as I could understand, her role was to plot the movements of Luftwaffe and Allied aircraft in the Berlin area, as news came in via her female colleagues, who manned the radios. In March/April 1945, she told me that an air raid siren had forced the women down into the air raid shelter, along with women from the munitions factory that was situated close by. A direct hit by an allied bomb decimated the shelter and killed everyone inside, except for my grandmother and a couple of her colleagues. She said that there was no blood, just bodies that looked like they were sleeping. A German officer appeared and released them from their duties, suggesting that they leave Berlin as quickly as possible. Discarding her uniform, she and a couple of others embarked on a 200 mile journey back to Paderborn, her home town. She recalled navigating her way through Berlin's streets, guessing the correct way out of the city (West), by the types of helmets lying on the ground, pushing a pram to collect and carry food and water for the small party of women. She made it home eventually and went on to marry an officer in British Intelligence, while stationed at army barracks in Paderborn. While my grandmother did her duty for her country during 1944/45, at the same time, my paternal grandfather was erecting and maintaining radar stations in Kent, England. War has its fair share of stories and ironies.

[@AudieHolland]

Twin engine propellor planes are more stable because the two engines counter rotate, so the plane won't try to swerve to the left or right all the time. Single engine propellor have that tendency so the pilot needs to counteract this with the foodpedals controlling the rudder. One American WWII ace, near the end of the war, noticed a German Bf-109 flying in strange manner. It was 'crabbing' meaning it didn't fly in the direction the nose was pointed. This American ace must have shaken his head, thinking 'they're really putting kids into fighter planes nowadays' before he shot it down I guess. * Most flying aces excelled at killing enemy green pilots and thus were able to rack up their kill count. Shooting down enemies wasn't the main problem for them. Staying alive was.

Something like the netflix series of 1/2 hr episodes about medal of honor winners would be a good equivilant for war stories. Longer is harder. Films need a narrative structure, to keep them realistic. Plus, many audiences don't like complex characters, unless their negative factors get sorted as part of their character ark.

[@gabespiro8902]

So I did some reading on Frau Uhse and discovered that she was raised in a pretty progressive household and she was given a proper sex education which came in handy postwar when Luftwaffe pilots were banned from flying. In the oddjobs she did to make ends meet she heard from the other women the problem they had with their husbands coming home from war and were basically incredibly randy after years on the front and the wives were worried about falling pregnant since, you know, their country was a smouldering wreck. So Uhse started a small business that put together "marriage guides" which gave married couples all the info they needed regarding sex and contraception and even came with condoms. The guides proved popular and she was soon met with letters asking about sexuality and she turned this popularity into her first shop for what she called "marital hygiene", arguably the world's first sex shop. This woman was amazing

So she went from being a pilot to starting and operaring stores that cater to "Adult" themes??? Hell of a carer change, but what ever pays the bills.

There was an important reason for that: She could not work as a pilot anymore after the war, because most flying was banned and thus worked the black market to survive.. but she needed a high profit/ low risk product. As child of one of the rarer female medical doctors she had gotten good sex education and knowledge on not getting pregnant was in high demand in these insecure times, so she capitalized on that and things went from there.

All of the above people are good natured people; my Mother and I paid respects to all the Luftwaffe pilots whom my Mother knew as school classmates, and loyal friends, were all lost while during their air duty. We are saddened that these fine young men were fond, loyal, liked and respected by my Dear Mother -

2 interesting things about Beate and Hannah. Beate felt especially after her wartime career that women where being repressed into their prewartime roles and duties. Even in the late 1960's German wives were required to have permission from their husbands in writing for the permission to work and get a driver's license. The sex shops she opened were also for women who could not alter their post war housewife roles but could have a personal sexual freedom since toys by the 1000's were mailed in unmarked boxes. Hannah was the 1st woman helicopter pilot, stuka test pilot and the 1st person to fly faster than the speed of sound in the rocket plane ME-163. The plane went faster than the measurement devices could register. The plane was badly damaged breaking the sound barrier. Since it was wartime she couldn't be awarded the title of faster than sound and later was given the Chuck Yeager. She won the respect of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy and was invited to the White House many times.

[@Athrun82]

It's also interesting to note that when the German constitution was written in 1949 the authors had an exhausting debate if women should have voting rights (in the end they got it). Really makes you think that the flawed Weimar Republic was more "progressive" then the more stable Federal Republic

We - my parents and I - came to "West Germany" in 1971. My mother went to the bank (as is customary in the cultivated world) and wanted to open a bank account (at the Hypo-Vereinsbank in Munich). The bank clerk told her that she couldn't do that without her husband's permission. My mother tried to explain to him that it was her money. Nobody cares about that here, was all she got as an answer. My mother did not forget this until her death. It was not until 1974 that women in West Germany were allowed to open their own account without the permission of their husband or father. Wir - Meine Eltern und ich - kamen 1971 nach "Westdeutschland". Meine Mutter ging (wie das in der kultivierten Welt üblich ist) zur Bank und wollte ein Bankkonto (bei der Hypo-Vereinsbank in München) eröffnen. Der Bankangestellte erklärte ihr, dass sie das ohne die Erlaubnis ihres Mannes nicht tun kann. Meine Mutter versuchte ihm zu erklären, dass es ihr Geld ist. Das interessiert hier keinen, war alles was sie als Antwort bekam. Bis zu ihrem Tod hat das meine Mutter nicht vergessen. Erst ab 1974 durften Frauen in Westdeutschland ein eigenes Konto eröffnen ohne Erlaubnis des Ehemannes oder Vaters.

Beate Uhse did not work as a stunt pilot before the war, but she was a test pilot for the Bücker aircraft company. She was a very capable pilot though, and often participated in air shows, flying stunts. She flew Bücker aircraft in a few movies as well, but she never worked in the film industry per se. She was also the highest ranking Axis female serviceperson with the rank of captain. In fact, she was one of the highest ranking woman soldiers in the entire war, as the highest ranking Allied one, Irina Samushenko of the Soviet Red Army, was also a captain.

[@thunderbird1921]

Here in the US, the WASP pilots sometimes flew new aircraft from the factories without any test flights beforehand from what I've read (out of urgency to get the planes to the front). If there was a flaw, they'd be the first to find out. Those ladies may not have seen combat, but they encountered a lot more danger than people think.

continuing, my Mother told me that all her friends-classmates whom she knew, were all lost, apparently passed away while on Luftwaffe air duty; she took it hard and was saddened of her nice young men

[@ludwigmesser5339]

who were the Luftwaffe pilots whom are memorialized at the Catholic Church Cemetery in Lend, Salzburg, Austria, as she kindly pointed the graves in line to me, in 1970, and my Mom and I are still in respect to them, and my Mom always remember them and her kindly and find friendship with them. About 8 or so years ago, a friend of mine here in California-USA in the same outpatient therapy hospital, regularly assembled Wehrmacht military vehicles and planes diaramas; he said to me that the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe pilots are always respected throughout the World; he is part Swedish and part German and American. I'm an American of German and Austrian lineage. My Texas born late Father, a Liberty Class Ship expert and surplus entrepreneur in Long Beach, California, was definitely from the Bible Belt, and cooked for the US Army. He was also a truckdriver for many years. He was the Son of a Messerschmidt lineages Father, and among the land receivers in Texas, from Texas granting Land to Germans immigrating to the US in the 1800s, and an American-born Mother. My Mom's and Daddy's mutual relationship was successful and cordial, because they were good to my Grandmothers, and we all never put our loved ones in nursinghomes. My Austrian Grandfather was a WWI soldier who got seriously injured in his brave line of duty, unfortunately, by the Serbs in Yugoslavia, had a surgically installed aluminium or sheet metal covering for his wound in the back of his skull. He frequently complained to my Mother that he suffered frequently from headaches. He, along with my Father, passed away in 1973. Dear God bless them. Mother was in tears, and we felt the tragic loss. We are always in fond memory with them. Like the title of the PEOPLE Periodical, REST SWEET PRINCE, when Sir Lawrence Olivier passed away; God bless him. The Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe pilots and drivers are good people. We all have to find it in our hearts to have forgiveness and a little charity in our hearts. Many Luftwaffe and RAF Spitfire pilots have excellent friendships and show much kindly respect among eachother, and My Grandfather and Father would be proud, and we are with fond memories. I wanted for many years to be either a Catholic priest or a Jewish Rabbi. My Dad's business friend was a businessman from Liverpool of Jewish faith, and my Mom and Dad and he and his lady friend were all in mutual friendship. In 1970 awaiting our BEA BAC-111(?) or HS Trident (?) flight arrival from Salzburg, he was a little frustrated because he was rightfully worried about our flight arriving 9 hours late, and the airlines counters and Heathrow's refusal to provide any proper information about our flight. That wasn't nice of them to put my Dear Dad in such dispair. He was only being a Good Father and spouse to me and my Dear Mother. You can't fault a guy for that. I'm still a Bachelor, and am fondly partial for English, Irish, German, Kenyan, Korean, Dutch, Polish, or Turkish ladies. I also like Bo Derek a lot, because, my Mom and I always remember her loving and mutual marital relationship with the late John Derek. We shead tears of saddness for Mrs. Derek's loss. We are always having John Derek and Bo Derek in their happy marriage, always in our hearts. God bless them. Mr. Derek, whom we found very good looking, was born in the same year as my Mom is, 1925. I'm glad. Faithfully, Best Regards, God Bless.

My Mom is definitely in agreement with my Swedish-German colleague, about the Wehrmacht. My Dad 's dream was for me to study German in Vienna, Austria, at the University. Unfortunately, and saddely, his dream never came true. My Dad passed away when I was only 12 in 1973; my Mom was very sad about this, and it was a dark and sorrowful time. My poor and Dearese Mother and Father. We have missed him for many, many years, and we still do. My Mom was my Caregiver for many years, from my nervous breakdown that I suffered from a previous work. I always listened to the shortwave as a radio dxer: well-known mental health reports were each from: BRUSSELS CALLING and SRI-Swiss Radio International in English. I became my Mother's Caregiver later for about 10 years, and we our victims of much undue trauma that we're suffering from:. (1.) me in mental hospitals and my Mom unduely in a rotten nursinghome. I am an advocate for the little persons who fall between the cracks in society, and for the poor patients whom are tortured and abused by rotten staff in hospitals and nursinghomes. Look up, please, Captain Stickey. He is for 50 years the only advocate for patients suffering unduely the same abuse my Mother is a victim of. I read about him in my Jr. High School's journalism course in Los Alamitos, California in the SCHOLASTIC periodical in 1975. Our Hero, the Captain squirts grape jelly and peanut butter at the perpatraitors. He unfortunately passed away in 2008. I am also in liaison with UNICEF and Amnesty International as a Human Rights Advocate. From the news I gather, the mental hospitals in Sweden and Austria seem rather terrible, too, in their barberic medical care. Also, the Altesheims in Austria are not good. The patients are suffering unduely, too, God forbid. My Cousin is in one and is in undue pain. Her daughter, my second cousin is a counselor who gives young adults hired and placed into good jobs in Bischofshofen, Austria. My third cousin, her daughter, is half Italian and blonde. I'm proud say that I as an Austrian-American and Italian speaker, and my Mom who also is proud, of my Cousins. Thank You, Faithfully, God Bless, Cheers
