The Nazis weren't exactly in power during WWI though. Any Nazi policy would have exactly 0 effect on the number of military age man in WWII, given that someone born when they came into power would be all of 12 by 1945.

I belive that ideal Nazi woman was pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen. Nazis also legalized stuff like nudist beaches, didin't they?

That's what Hitlerjugend was for.

You're wrong, of course. Nazi policies redefining "military age" had a marked impact upon it.

By the time they were "recruiting" 12 years old the result of the war was already clear. Had been for years.

Hmm, I think I got mixed up and thought the fertility side note was in regards to Germany/France pre-WWII, not pre-WWI.

Alternatively the Germans were secretly controlled by alien human-breeders, like dog-breeders but with humans, that were trying to refine the gene pool of their stock into pedigree tall, blonde, nordic purebreds. They were only stopped when alien animal rights advocates destroyed the Axis of Artificial Selection in the mid 40s.

Not really. 14-17 year olds (and some younger ones) wouldn't be used until towards the end of the war, when they were deployed as anti-aircraft warfare helpers, as a measure of "last resort".

Fun Fact. The previous Catholic Pope, Benedict XVI (the one who had resigned) was Luftwaffenhelfer (anti-aircraft warfare helper) during last stages of WW2.

Watching nazi properganda movies makes me think the ideal nazi woman was barefoot and pregnant.... In some kind of industrial breeding factory.

If you were male, of the right age and not crippled you probably went into the army during the last stages of WWII. I'm not sure how old he was back then, but it would be kind of strange to judge his character by that.

Is anyone judging his character by that? IIRC, he ran away ASAP so that's something.

Whatever happened to popes who would relish the chance to become a martyr? Oh that's right Christians aren't meant to do that anymore, it's all about charity, taxing pilgrims, and selling indulgences.
