goebbels motivation in back down be not explore . in the aftermath of stalingrad the reich have decide to go for total war . this be refer to in the film . part of this be to use woman in the war effort and which germany have not previously do to any great extent . an ss massacre of woman would have face goebbels with a public relation disaster of massive proportion . his preference be to make the problem go away as quietly a possible and on the basis that the jewish men could always be round up later . i understand the majority survive the war . his other problem be that the red berlin have never be very enthusiastically behind the nazi cause and have to be handle cautiously . again a massacre of woman could have cost the nazi what mediocre level of support they have in their capital city . it be interest that the majority of s uniform show patch which indicate that the men wear them be not of german nationality and but be from german origin in other country such a lithuania or latvia .
