Consider Nazi ideology – is it spreading the ideology efficiently have they embraced this element.
Probably didn’t win over new people to Nazism.
Did not relentlessly persue people who did not show these values.
Supplementary propaganda for the already convinced.
Birth rates did not rise greatly but the propaganda value of celebrationg the woman fit the nazi ideological aims but as much as it has been put forwards as evidence of weakness in war preparation however they were probably not planning for total war at that stage.
At a certain stage however women were forced into the work force that shows they failed at enhancing their traditional view of women form the Nazi ideology. However it was a war situation and not bringing them in sooner shows how important this ideology was for them. The most important thing was always to maintain support as this was a regime based on a massive use of propaganda based on compliance.
