The NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) and commonly known as the Nazi Party in 1932 was gaining more votes from women than men, Hitler stated ‘we gained more women than all the other parties together.’ While this is a gross exaggeration there was a shift in the electorate as the party were gaining more votes from women than men.

Jill Stephenson also cites this as a limitation to the impact NSADP social policies had on women stating that ‘those with a husband, father or brother in the party often worked for their local NSDAP branch without joining’
