Low Hanging Fruit. Central Europe and Development Aid for AfricaLet’s return back from the sick and injured to the social standing of women, which is oneof the key indicators of progress or backwardness of human society. Without equality forwomen, every society is fated to spiritual and material backwardness, remaining behind theworld in which men and women are held in equal standing. Despite this, contemporary Arabsocieties don’t even have the slightest chance of competing with the civilized West as they areonly tapping half of the intellectual and creative capacities of their people. In one fell swoopthey have deprived themselves of at least half of their geniuses. The second half, women, iscondemned to atrophy due to inactivity thanks to the idiotic ideology of gender superiority.Speaking of the standing of women in society and historical consequences, we’ll leaveAfrica for a short time and move away and back in time. During your schooling you almostcertainly met with various interpretations of the causes of Hitler’s defeat at the hands of theSoviet Union. Complex events have complex causes and a simple interpretation of historyis almost always incorrect. All of us have read about brutal Russian winters, never-endingsteppes, war on two fronts, the patriotic, or if you choose fanatic, Soviet soldiers and otherexplanations for the defeat of the Germans. Personally I am convinced that the Soviets canthank one factor for their victory in the war—the emancipation of women. While Germansociety at the time of World War II was still ruled by the patriarchal philosophy of the three“Ks” where women were responsible for the children (Kinder), going to church (Kirche) andthe kitchen (Küche), the Soviets, for philosophical and practical reasons (the low performanceof the Communist economy required massive amounts of manpower), permittedthe emancipation of women and afforded them equal standing. In a crisis this equalledtwice the number of heads, hands and hearts and the country eventually found itself injust such an unavoidable crisis. And was twice as resistant as a result. While the Germanwomen cared for children, Russian women went to the Ural Mountains to assemble tanks,while German women slaved over the stove, those to the east of the Volga seeded andwatered the fields and while the Germans prayed in the churches, their Russian and Ukrainiancounterparts volunteered and fought at the front. One of the paradoxes of history isthat at the same time as the beacon of Western democracy, the United States of America,was resolving the issue of if African Americans could become pilots in the air force, 195 theSoviet Air Force already had three air regiments staffed exclusively by women, 196 some ofwhom fought the entire way from Stalingrad to Berlin.Alright, let’s move back to Africa and the standing of women in Guinea as captured bythe book Save Him, White Doctor! The book also includes a reaction to another fundamental195 These African American pilots, known as the Tuskegee Airmen after the name of their segregatedairbase in Alabama, began training in the American Army Air Force after the personal intervention ofEleanor Roosevelt in 1941. They first saw combat in the summer 1943. By the end of the war a totalof 992 African American pilots fought in the American Army and were responsible for downing 261enemy aircraft. The Tuskegee Airmen and their fight for racial emancipation was the subject of a 1995film of the same name directed by American Robert Markowitz.196 One of these regiments of night bombers, which the Germans named “Nachthexen” or Night Witches,saw more combat during the war than all of the African American pilots from Tuskegee.217
