 | Purported to be the world's first sex doll, is said to be the creation of Nazi scientists in 1941. Borghild, was a sex doll or "gynoid", developed as a "female hygiene project" to stop soldiers on the front having sex with prostitutes. It was believed that the project was developed by Himmler, and approved by Hitler, to give inflatable sex dolls to the troops, that they could carry in their back-packs. The project was pushed forward by an ambitious Danish doctor, called Hannussen. He wanted to create a doll with an ”artifial face of lust”, for the soldiers. |
He wrote in his logbook, ”The doll has only one purpose and she should never become a substitute for the honourable mother at home... When the soldier makes love to Borghild, it has nothing to do with love. Therefore the face of our anthropomorphic sexmachine should be exactly how Weininger described the common wanton’s face.”
| A total of fifty dolls were supposedly ordered for use in Jersey by officials, but the purported project was cancelled by Himmler after two years, after soldiers refused to carry them due to the fear of embarrassment if they were captured and one was found in their possession. The bombing of Dresden also supposedly destroyed the factories that were planned to build the dolls, as well as the records of the project. After many years of investigation, with no evidence to support the story, many historians now consider that the Borghild Project is a hoax. However in 2009, a black comedy titled The Borghilde Project was released. Starring Jaye Davidson, the film presents the project as being factual. |
