 Only one case of rape was prosecuted by a German court during the military campaign in Poland, and even then the German judge found the perpetrator guilty of "Rassenschande" (committing a shameful act against his race as defined by the racial policy of Nazi Germany), rather than rape.Jewish women were particularly vulnerable to rape during The Holocaust.Rapes were also committed by German forces stationed on the Eastern Front, where they were largely unpunished (as opposed to rapes committed in Western Europe) Wehrmacht also established a system of military brothels, in which young women and girls from occupied territories were forced into prostitution under harsh conditions.
