If you've always been vaguely (or not-so-vaguely) creeped out by ultrarealistic sex dolls, wait until you read about a Nazi "field-hygienic project" during World War 2 according to this article at Blogcritics: "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 sex machine should be exactly like the common wanton
s face.
(Unfortunately, there's no photo documentation to substantiate the claims made by the author: "Which proves that the Dresden bombing was a true atrocity: now we don't have a copy of the world's first sex doll.")

Update More @ Secular Blasphemy, which also links to the original article in Bild Online whence the information was taken. (blogs.salon.com + bild.t-online.de)
Update Our friends at Boing Boing post an email which says the whole "Nazi sex doll" story is (surprise!) a hoax. We knew we put that question mark in the title of this post for something. (boingboing.net)
