Trümmerfrau (German pronunciation: [ˈtʁʏmɐˌfʁaʊ̯] ⓘ; literally translated as rubble woman) were women who, in the aftermath of World War II, helped clear and reconstruct the bombed cities of Germany and Austria. Hundreds of cities had suffered significant bombing and firestorm damage through aerial attacks and ground war, so with many men dead or prisoners of war, this monumental task fell to a large degree on women.[1]
