Margot, Woman on Bicycle Generator (Blonde/Auburn Hair)

Powering the communications system--no, not an early Peloton--these bikes were used extensively by German Armed forces in WWII for generating the required power [first used in the First World War].  They were an easily portable and productive way to power radio equipment.  You can imagine the staff taking it in turns, well maybe not Big Bertha [SS157A] or her sister Gerta [SS157B] to generate power, although they definitely need the exercise!
As we all know, Horses sweat, Men perspire, and Woman ‘Glow’.

World War II

In WWII Germany used millions of women as auxiliaries. They had vital roles in all the 3 major arms of the German military machine. We have introduced 3 new army female signals soldiers to complement the previous 2 figures released last month.

A big thank you to Paul Goodsell, a good friend of the company, who came up with the inspiration for these female radio operators.  We think they will deliver, as well or better than Paul does in his real job as a Post/Mail Man!
