This documentary by Claus Räfle, Grimme award-winner, combines rare archive footage with commentaries from contemporary eye-witnesses in a portrayal of the sexual morals of Nazism. The controlled interplay of man and woman was an important component in the Nazi ideology. Immediately after their seizure of power, the Nazis banned everything that seemed suspicious and decadent from the revelry of the roaring twenties. Permissive morals, displays of nudity were forbidden and condemned. The cohabitation of man and woman was to serve only one purpose: the production of children. As many as possible, since they belonged to “the most important of all races”. Above all, however, the contingent of future soldiers was to be increased. Single mothers were taken to special “Lebensborn” homes, where they were deliberately “mated” with blond SS officers. The director of this institution spoke quite openly of “breeding purposes” which were to serve the “Aryianisation of the race”.
