HW 22

A.) The Law for the Encouragement of Marriage encouraged couples to have large families by allowing them to keep a loan of 1000 reichmarks, which was about 9 months pay at the time.
B.) The doctor wants to marry the ideal Nazi woman. Someone who was healthy, young, and pure.
The doctor wanted to marry the young woman not only for the financial gain, but because though the propaganda he was told that this was the only type of woman he should marry. As long as the future wife didn't have money, she would be completely reliant upon the doctor. The doctor had a very good chance at finding a wife this way due to how wide spread the propaganda was. The ad would not be allowed in a modern paper due to it's intense misogyny.
C.) The Nazi ideal was that Germans would worship the state as a deity in and of itself. The Bible was banned because Hitler had realized that the church was one of the few things powerful enough to over through the Reich, despite Hitler's own thoughts that he was doing God's work.
