    Reminds me of the “Thankful Villages” or the rarer “Doubly Thankful Villages” in the UK. The former for villages where none of the men died in WWI and the second where none of the men died in both wars. Kind of sobering when you realised that the majority of places suffered losses of their men.

      Funny, my thought was that her husband needed to figure out what a condom was.

        I don’t think condoms were popularized in the 1930s.

        Edit: Apparently they were around then and just began being mass-produced. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom

      People downvoting are either poorly educated or in denial.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_liberation_of_France

      White American soldiers were much less likely to be executed for rape. 130 of the 180 troops charged with rape by the Army in France were African American. U.S. forces executed 29 soldiers for rape, 25 of them African American.

      Of course with a bit of that racist America flavour.

        People are downvoting because the topic is survival rate and while rape by military stsff is a huge problem, it isn’t something that is clearly linked to these particular soldiers.

          Old legends about how the sex of a child is determined. Today, we know it’s based on X and Y chromosomes. I assume the superstition morphed to state that “well, orgasm order, position, wind speed over the Sahara determine which sperm is selected” for which we have no peer-reviewed evidence to the best of my knowledge.
