Frau Heissmeyer was captured with her husband post-war using a false name. She received a short prison sentence from the French authorities in 1948. She died a few years ago. I have corresponded with her son.

It would be interesting to learn more about the combat battalions of women that she organized. Is this something that has been exaggerated?

Best regards/ Daniel

She was the highest leader of Women in the NSDAP!

She was born as Gertrud Emma Treusch on february 9, 1902 in Baden.
Her father was functionary in Adelsheim, Germany.
She begun studies in High School in Baden but left the school in the WWI to help with War duties. After she worked in the Service of train in Germany and cleaning in houses of Army Officer. At 19 years old she married with the professor Eugen Klink a School teacher who was fan of the NSDAP, they begun to help the SA troops (cooking, take care of the children from the woman who were in the service by the Party. They joined to the NSDAPO on March 1, 1930 as active members.

She was especialist in get new woman to the NSDAP membership. At the end of 1930, the prof Klink who was ascend to Kreisleiter died by a Heart attack during a meeting of the party, he left 4 children with Getrud and She was more active in the party with her participations in meetings.

The Gauleiter Robert Wagner made a felicitation to Klink by the growing of the Women section in Baden. In 1932 Gertrud married again with the medic Günther Scholtz, she assumed the last name Scholtz-Klink since 1933. On february 24, 1934 she was named as Reich Women's League Leader (Reichsfrauenfűhrerin). Bu by Hitler´s order her power was fiction, she was not with power and his functions were the representation of the party in the Congress in Nuremberg and organization to girls. Hiter refused to join Klink at the Goverment. She divorced in 1938 and married again in 1940 with the SS General August Heissmeyer who aported six children from his first marriage. Anyway the rest of high Nazi Leaders refused to have Goverment relation with Gertrud and her ideas were into the decadence since 1943. In 1944 she made a call to all the women to the fight until the bitter end. In 1945 they disappeared with fake names until february-march 1948 when she was arrested and held for trial and convicted by Reutlingen denazification tribunal as a major offender and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment c. 18 Nov 1948 she was commuted to time served; sentence quashed at request of State denazification commissioner; sentenced 4 May 1950 by a denazification appeals court at Tübingen to 2 ½ years imprisonment. During her trial a LOT of women and girl wrote letter asking to the allieds a strong punishment to Klink. After the prison, Klink continued nazi ideologization and she was inhabilitated politicaly and was forbbiden to all activities.

In 1978 she wrote a book called "The woman in the III Reich" with speech and articles about her gold time. She died as a nazi but she never was admitted in the inner circle of the Führer, she was invited few occations to Obersalzberg and never was taken seriously by the III Reich leaders.

She died on March 24, 1999.

Claudia Koonz interviewed the Reichsfrauenführerin for her book Mothers in the Fatherland: Women, the Family, and Nazi Politics.

Although overall not a terribly flattering picture, excerpts of the interviews do give some insight into Frau Scholtz-Klink's (this spelling from two postcards of her from the 1940s) views on the period.

Dear all

She was married to Augut Heissmeyer. After the war Heissmeyer had a coco cola manufacturing company. Was he divorced from her? When she was after the war was still a nazi, so he would also be the same and why a american copmpany take a man like that.

Greetings
