Demonstrates that in spite of criminal sanctions against sexual relations between Germans and POWs, forbidden sex became an embarassing and frequent reality during World War II. States that women's experiences and lived realities did not synchronize with the state's claims of an insulated utopian "Volksgemeinschaft" (national-racial community) during the war years
