It appears the Third Reich pioneered one of the weirder side of human sexuality — cater to the need of solitary men to have sexual congress with inflatable plaything .
According toMussolini ’s Barber , a Modern al-Qur’an by Graeme Donald document flaky episodes from military story , theNazi sexual activity doll projectwas launched in response to concerns that German soldiers might contract venereal diseases from tart and loose fair sex while occupying foreign state and , uh , doing the Nazi nasty . In 1940 Heinrich Himmler , knob of the elite - and - terrifying S.S. , got the go - ahead from Hitler for the “ Borghild Project ” to create a not - quite - life sentence - size “ gynoid ” doll to provide German soldiers with non-living company on those long moving in night .
For extra creepiness , the blond - haired , downcast - eyed dollar wench was otherwise left featureless in the facial country , supposedly to allow soldier to fancy their own wives , girlfriend , or favorite celebrity . Actually , this may have just been an excuse : evidently the designers wanted to use the phiz of a renowned Magyar actress , Kathe von Nagy , but were rebuffed ( surprise ) .
50 prototype sexuality dolls were eventually acquire , but the sex wench program was finally scrapped in 1942 because soldier were too embarrassed to persuade the “ reliever ” into combat with them . It also seems pretty unbelievable that men might be carry to square up for dolls when millions of substantial charwoman were in the neck of the woods . Of course , given the savagery of German occupancy policy ( specially in Eastern Europe ) , rape was very commonplace as well .
Himmler ’s uncanny fender project reflect a telephone number of Nazi obsessions – principally with genital disease and racial purity . Hitler was consumed by the notion that German “ rake ” was being “ contaminated ” by interbreeding with purportedly inferior races , including “ subhuman ” Slavs , “ degenerate ” Latins , and Jews , whom he compared to plague bacilli . In his warped imagination , racial low quality conk hand - in - hand with the prevalence of genital diseases , especially syphilis , which he believed was endemical to non - Indo-Aryan populations , and also threaten to destroy Germany ’s precious Aryan racial stock .
