meaning

Along with Gertrud Scholtz-Klink , BDM leader Trude Mohr and her successor Jutta Rüdiger, Reber-Gruber was one of the four leading female functionaries in the Nazi regime.

“Auguste Reber-Gruber is desperate about the attitude of her party colleagues, but never about the party's femininity ideology. In their person and function, the insoluble contradiction in which the National Socialist 'women fighters' held themselves prisoner as supporters and actors of a deeply misogynistic and inhumane ideology is revealed ”, says Monika Meister in an essay about Reber-Gruber.
