American Office of War Information propaganda drama about women under Hitler. Program 15. Beloved woman teacher leaves her students because women were no longer to be school teachers or to have college or specialized training. Women should get married and have babies. Motherhood should be a woman's goals.

Women were also to give up their jobs to men who were favored by the party machine and patronage system. They also need to perform their 'duty year,' a year of manual labor in the fields for the fatherland.
