A photograph purportedly showing women in the League of German Girls, theÂ female wing of the Nazi Party youth movement, during a uniform inspection in World War II is frequently circulated on social media: The image is actually a still from the 1958 movieÂ BlitzmÃ¤dels an die FrontÂ (Women Soldiers to the Front), which focused on the role women played during the second world war: < During WWII The German â€˜Wehrmachtâ€™ is heavily under fire after the invasion of Normandy. There are also a lot of women participating in the war, working at the front line as couriers for the air force. In this war, everyday, they put their lives on the line. > This photograph is available via the web siteÂ Cinema.DeÂ where it was originally shared with a watermark for the movie. This watermark was removed before the item was shared as if it showed a genuine war photograph: The web site also identified some of the actresses in the image asÂ Eva-Ingeborg Scholz, Elisabeth Terval, and Claudia GerstÃ¤cker. Hereâ€™s another similar inspection scene from the movie: Â
