Desperate in the Trenches

Not only do they survive nearly every comic book battle to return to fight another day, they also allegedly invented the world's first sex doll. Borghild, of course, was not intended to replace the true woman who would bear the offspring of the master race, but rather to maintain hygiene in the trenches and prevent the Nazi soldiers from carousing with foreign wenches.

The world’s first sexdoll – or ”gynoid” – was built in 1941 by a team of craftsmen from Germany's Hygiene Museum in Dresden. The project was supervised by a famous technician, Franz Tschakert. He was the ”father of the woman of glass,” which happened to be the sensation in the 1930’s International Hygiene Exhibition.


International Hygiene Exhibition? Damn, they sure knew how to have fun in the 30s.

Thanks to Fleshbot for bringing this matter to my attention.

I say this carefully because obviously Nazis are evil fucknuts:-

I find it fascinating that Nazism was so successful in Germany. Some of the links between Nazis and mysticism are weird and interesting. Some of the stuff they achieved means things could have been a hell of a lot scarier. eeek
