My opinion
The women participation in war is an issue of feminist to ensure that all the gender participate in the war. It’s not a good idea as it present women in a different perspective as they are required to play a role of humanity in the society but they killed the Jews and mistreated them mercilessly. It is an irony of what is expected of them in the society.
