During the intervening years between 1945 and 1949, Germany was in a state of chaos and despair following the end of World War II. The postwar period was one of intense violence, and women became victims of increased sexual assault and disturbing violence.

Countless crimes from this period have never been solved and continue to raise questions to this day. Cases such as the unsolved murder of Zenta Hausner, an innkeeper with a dangerous double life in the black market, exemplify the terrible fate of women trying to survive in difficult times. During this time, thousands of sex offenses were committed by Allied occupation soldiers, but only a few were held accountable. The number of victims of black market trafficking and illegal smuggling was also similar to that of concealed sex offenses.
