most women continue to only have 2 children, many women put off having kids after rearnment started in 1935 cos they had jobs to do
lebensborne programme criticised for allowing sex outside of marriage - church disapproved and extra 12000 barely got to know thier fathers
some historians suggest birth rate only went up cos wage went up - wages increased by 27% between 1933 39 higher wages meant more people could afford to have kids

many women accepted the messages they saw in posters and films
many women welcomes the increase in status that nazis gave women - important homemakers, felt important
fail
after rearnement 1935 women had to stop being homemakers and go work - reversed many of the trends which the nazis had started
in 1937 , nazis forced to change the marriage loan scheme to allow women who had been given a loan to take up employment - embarassing
