But women did play a significant role during the war. The war production factories in America and Britain had largely women working in them. In Russia too women manned factories which churned out tanks, guns and warplanes with which Stalin's army fought the Germans. Also Russian women played a big part in the conflict zones not only as nurses but also as soldiers. Especially in Stalingrad.
Below is a photo album which shows women in WW2....

LENI RIEFENSTAHL
Reni Liefenstahl (August 22, 1902 – September 8, 2003) was a German film
director, actress and dancer widely noted for her aesthetics and
innovations as a filmmaker. Her most famous film was Triumph of the Will,
a documentary film made at the 1934 congress in Nuremberg of the Nazi
Party. Riefenstahl’s prominence in the Third Reich, along with her
personal association with Adolf Hitler, destroyed her film career
following Germany's defeat in World War II, after which she was arrested
but released without any charges.
