According to Mühlenberg, a Finnish female voluntary organisation was the model for the SS-Helferinnenkorps. ‘Lotta Svärd‘ had been established in 1921 to relieve men who could then go to the front and fight. The women helped protect their homeland and strengthened the will of the people and were willing and able to replace men in any position. This inspired the (third) Commandant of the SS-Helferinnen school, Karl Mutschler, who expanded the remit of the SS-Helferinnen to extend beyond communications tasks. It is possible that both Gersdorff and Mühlenberg are correct, but perhaps greater clarity is needed.

esikuvina kaikille Suomen naisille.
Muihin Pohjoismaihin perustettiin vastaavat järjestöt, samoin Baltian maihin.
Jos Saksassa naisille annettiin mahdollsiuus vapaaehtoiseen maanpuolustuyöhon, niin mitä sitten?
Lotta Svärdillä oli suuret ansiot viime sodissa selviytymisessä. Siksihän se määrättiin lakkautettavaksi.
No, parempi olisi lukea vähän pidemmin tuosta:
It is not actually known who first had the idea of a school to train the women who would become SS-Helferinnen, but Himmler always wanted to have schools to instruct women, and had previously mooted the idea of Frauenhochschulen für Weisheit und Kultur [Women’s high school for wisdom and culture]. The plans for the founding of the SS-Helferinnen school began in early 1942, on the personal initiative of the Chief of Telecommunications, Ernst Sachs. The ever-increasing territorial expansion of the Third Reich resulted in a need for personnel in the communication service, and so the Weibliches Nachrichtenkorps des SS [female communication corps of the SS] was established. These women would replace men, who would then be free to fight at the front. It was hoped these women would become a new female trained elite. The same strict racial criteria placed on those who wished to be the wife of an SS-man was applied to those who wanted to become SS-Helferinnen; for that reason, the wives, sisters and daughters of SS-men were encouraged to apply.
The Weibliches Nachrichtenkorps was established in July 1918, and the women were trained to operate radios, telegraphs and telephones so that they could replace men in the communication corps. It was inspired by, according to Ursula von Gersdorff, an English project, which used female motorcyclists.(3) In 1943, the Weibliches Nachrichtenkorps, which had been established under Himmler, changed its name to the SS-Helferinnenkorps. According to Mühlenberg, a Finnish female voluntary organisation was the model for the SS-Helferinnenkorps. ‘Lotta Svärd‘ had been established in 1921 to relieve men who could then go to the front and fight. The women helped protect their homeland and strengthened the will of the people and were willing and able to replace men in any position.

Eli aikamoista arveluahan tuo on. Koko natsien tyttöliikehän sai vaikutteensa lähinnä partioliikkeestä, johon lisättiin natsien propaganda-annostus. Sinänsä Suomen lotta systeemi varmaan kelpasi esikuvaksi, kun haluttiin organisoida toiminta tehokkaasti ja vapauttaa miehiä rintamalle.
