Historical Background: The Kriegsmarine (German Navy) recruited women as Marinehelferinnen to fill non-combatant roles, freeing up men for service on U-boats and warships. They served as radio operators, signal specialists, and clerical staff at naval bases across occupied Europe. While they were not combat troops, they were subject to military discipline and wore uniforms that mirrored the navy’s traditional style.
