"A scheme was once hatched during World War II to try and turn Hitler into a woman. Or at least try and make him as womanly and feminine as possible. The hope was that it would make him less aggressive, or barring that, cost him the respect and adoration of his macho followers, who might be turned off by an effeminate Fuhrer. Below are some fascinating facts about that scheme and other strange historic plans…"

Only a true moron would believe a woman leader is necessarily more benign Catherine the Great didn't get that title 'cause she attended a lot of charity benefits! |

She looks frightening. In an alternate universe she would have conquered most of the world… |

"What if the Führer had been a woman?"
She would be a darn ugly one. None of the boys would ask her out. And she would be even more grumpy. 👍 |

No, I didn't read the link. I just trusted Tango to summarize adequately. But this reminds me of the madcap CIA plans, if they were real, to slip Castro a mickey that would make his beard fall out.
Wouldn't it have been better to just poison either one? Aren't you risking an agent's life just to do something silly? |

"Well, it was the woman vote that put him in power." Not entirely true. There were more women than men in Germany and a lot voted for the NSDAP, but I don't think it's accurate to claim it was women who got him into power. Wikipedia says:
"Historian Wendy Lower makes it clear that while "Women were not a majority of those who voted for Hitler…In the presidential election of March 1932…26.5% [of German women voted] for Hitler. In the 1931 September elections, 3 million women voted for NSDAP candidates, almost half of the total of 6.5 million votes cast for the NSDAP."[18] In terms of voting patterns however, a higher proportion of male voters supported the Nazi party compared to female voters.[19]" 18: See: p. 213, Note no. 20, in Lower, Wendy. Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013.
