Publisher's Summary
The Bad Girls of the SS
There is no doubt that the atrocities committed in WW II are hard to stomach. Most people think of the guards at the worst concentration camps as the epitome of the regime of Hitler, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, man. There were female guards, though, who made some of those men look like choirboys.
Irma Grese, probably the most notorious of them all, was a lesson in depravity, who seemed to find pleasure and enjoyment in the torture inflicted on others. Find out what she said in her last moments on the gallows. Dorothea Binz was equally sadistic. Listen more to know what might have caused her to develop these depraved actions. Could a broken heart have been the cause of it? The controversy regarding Ilse Koch is still ongoing today. Was she really the “Red Witch” as some claimed or did her actions have lesser consequences? While there’s no doubt that she wasn’t innocent, some of the claims against her have been questioned over the years. Learn more about what she did or may not have done.
These are just a few of the stories in this audiobook. We explore the minds of the female SS guards. Some of the claims are shocking! History can be hard to digest. If we are determined to never again let these atrocities occur, we must learn the lessons from them now. You won't regret listening to this book.

Interesting, infuriating, disappointing
First things first - a “trigger warning”? On a book ABOUT THE F$&@ING HOLOCAUST? For Lemmy’s sake could you start in a more pathetic fashion? That sort of garbage is the exact reason I don’t have Twitter, Facebook, etc. yet now I have to deal with it on a book? ABOUT THE F$&@ING HOLOCAUST?!?
Now with that said, this was a semi-interesting book which is let down heavily through repetition & personal opinion. Much of the information, while well-described & highly vivid in places, is repeated almost verbatim as “new” portions in several different chapters. The writer’s obsession with the “Freudian” is ridiculous, as are his relentless attempts to portray what he obviously sees as his own worldly moral superiority. All this processed through the monotone drone of the narrator makes it hard to listen to in anything other than short chunks.
Is it worth reading/hearing? Yes - if you have no knowledge of the horrific crimes of the monstrous female members of the Nazi camps. But if you already knew about the likes of Koch, Grese, Mandel, etc. there is nothing new here.
