As in Nazi Germany invented the first sex doll — Aryan of Borghild

The Nazi occupation of France in 1940 led to multiple sex German soldier with Parisian prostitutes, and as a result, by the outbreak of syphilis in the army. Needed something to do. You could just ban such relationships, but the authorities of the Third Reich went the other way: they decided to develop a synthetic woman who will satisfy the sexual needs of the soldiers and it does not infect. Thus was born a top-secret project blue-eyed blonde sex doll named Borghild first artificial woman in history.

Responsible for the project was Heinrich Himmler, head of SS. The document, which allegedly found the journalist Norbert Lenz, Himmler wrote: "the greatest danger in Paris is the uncontrolled proliferation of corrupt women, who find clients in bars, dance halls and other places. It is our duty not to allow the military risked their health for the sake of short shenanigans."

Erotic doll had to be included among the essential things that the soldiers took with them on a hike (in deflated form, it was placed in a backpack), it would help to avoid homosexuality and sexually transmitted diseases among the military (and they led to "unnecessary losses" lives) and would help to preserve the purity of the Aryan race. Initially, the doll was called "Field hygiene project".

Adolf Hitler personally approved the project dolls, after which Himmler was hired to develop Franz Cakarta of the German hygiene Museum. Earlier Cacert created "a Woman of glass" — anatomically correct transparent dummy, in Germany in 1930‑ies became a sensation. Therefore quite plausible that this contract it.

But there was a problem: would the soldiers to copulate with puppets instead of real women? How to get them to comply? Nazi psychiatrist Rudolf Chargesheimer wrote: "the Purpose of these dolls is to help our soldiers. They need to fight, not to hunt the foreign and mix with other people's blood. However, no man would prefer a doll living woman."

And this is true — if only the doll will not be of the highest quality. Chargesheimer installed three requirements in order to overcome the likely reluctance of soldiers to use the doll:

1. Synthetic leather on the touch needs to be real. 2. The body of the doll needs to be as flexible and mobile. 3. The genitals should be felt realistic.

The team has started to work. Originally wanted to do a skeleton of aluminum, but abandoned this idea, and Cacert stopped on the silicone.

To the exterior of the dolls was also strict requirements. In a letter to Hanussen Hitler gave detailed instructions on how Borghild should look like: life size, height 176 cm, with very white skin, blond hair, soft blue eyes and an open umbilicus. She has to have big lips and big Breasts, bendable arms and head.

The doll's face for the Nazis was very important, even more important than the body. The developers wanted to make a doll with the appearance of a Hungarian actress kat von Naga (Kathe von Nagy), but she refused. Then decided not to give the doll's face of certain features, leaving only the blue eyes and blond hair, so that the soldiers could think of her appearance in accordance with their own fantasies.

The team decided that Borghild should be "made-up face of the lust". They formed ten individuals and used psychological tests to determine what is desirable for most men. Hair Borghild was short, to remind its users that is not an ideal of femininity, and fighting friend is a part of the armed forces.

When designing the body of Borghild Cacert wanted to make a one-piece plaster cast alive women were invited for this purpose athletes Wilhelmina von Bremen and Annette Walter. But casts him down: "They looked terrible. Sometimes the legs look too short and deformed, sometimes the women were skinny back and arms like a wrestler." In the end, the team Jakarta settled on a stylized image of a woman with squeezable Breasts and a sports figure.

When the design was ready, the Nazis began to develop a prototype of the doll. She looked so.

Wehrmacht soldiers first tried Borghild in 1941. Doll has been tested on the German garrison of the island of Jersey. Hitler so impressed with the test results, he ordered 5000 dolls for his personal guard. However, in 1942, the project was shelved: many German soldiers were captured and refused to carry dolls, fearing that they will become a cause of ridicule and mockery of the enemy.

In the end, the idea finally fizzled out, and all instances of Broghill was destroyed by the allied forces during the bombing of Dresden.

About the secret project "of Borghild" learned writer Donald Graham, exploring the origins of the Barbie doll: he found that the Americans the Ruth and Elliot Handler created the legendary toy after a visit to Germany in 1956, where they bought a "daughter" of Borghild Lilly sold in adult shops and Nightclubs. The story of this Graham included in your history book "the Barber Mussolini" (Mussolini''s Barber).
