I recall reading the biographies of some of the women that were hanged. They were young - in their 20's. Working class people who got jobs, probably paying more than their parents had earned. Maybe they even thought they were helping the Fuhrer or the homeland.

The pictures of them at picnics during their "down" time were no different than those at a company picnic at an American business.

Then back to work, brutalizing and/or killing prisoners.
