Abstract | In this chapter in a volume aiming to explore the intersections of the military, war and gender in twentieth-century Germany from a variety of different perspectives, the author examines the relative leniency in punishing sex crimes in the East compared to heavy punishments meted out in the West. In France, a "civilized" country, military leaders were concerned about the reputation of the Wehrmacht, while in Russia sex crimes were only punished if they were directly related to "undermining military discipline." |
