The book Die Deutsche Mutter und ihr erstes Kind (The German Mother and her first child) by Johanna Haarer was very popular during that time and even basic book for education in the Reichsmütterschule (Reichs mother’s school) and even after the war. The fortunately last reprint is from 1987.
Well the Weimar Republic was also a regressive shithole run by an absolutely terrible monarch. I’m sure the wife had been suffering in Germany for a while
Not really… the creation of Weimar is literally the go-to text-book example of how liberals will jump into bed with fascists as soon as the prospect of socialist revolt is at hand.
“Oh no, the mean ol’ social fascists promised to have elections instead of allowing a government by force of arms like the Soviet Party Line wanted, how terrible”
Probably fine. I think a lot about how Bayer, which literally made the gas for the chambers, is still around and apparently doing well. And while Germany was war ravaged, it wasn’t to a much greater extent than the rest of Europe.
I wonder how this worked out for them, specifically, in the end. The wife/mother has a very longsuffering look on her face.

It’s a very sad reality, not only in Germany.

That’s the German Empire. The Weimar Republic was an unstable shithole run by a revolving series of coalitions that ended with ze Nazis.
That’s right lol I forget how short lived the Republic was
It survived longer than the Nazi reign did though
14.5 years compared to ~12
Blink and you’ll miss it!

Ah, yes, remember how the Social Democrats called the Communists ‘social fascists’ and refused to work with them?
Oh, wait, sorry, I got it reversed, my bad.
Gee… I wonder why on earth that could have been?
It’s a complete mystery, I tell ya.

Fascist scum like you aren’t welcome here.
Look at France today to see the process ongoing…Ambiance in most right wing parties (incl. Macron) is like rather Bardella than the Front Populaire.

Yes but I also imagine many of the males in that picture died or were injured
Removed by mod
Well, they ran out of war machines too
I bet the oldest son got drafted towards the end.
I’d bet both elder sons got drafted, as the one on the right looks like 9-10.
…and the others got press ganged into the Volkssturm.
