During World War Two, a group of Dutch nurses chose to join the ('Easternfront Ambulance'), a controversial though currently relatively unknown field hospital for the eastern front. In doing so, they supported the German war effort. This case study elaborates on the motives of these women to make a choice that was ultimately determined as 'wrong', by emphasising their unique gender role of nurse in the public sphere. By providing an insight into a relatively small group of 'wrong' women, this article aims to act as a call for further research into the gender context of limitations and opportunities of Dutch women during the German occupation. These nurses appear to have had various intentional and unintentional motives for enlisting. Nearly all of them later claimed they had pursued a 'calling'. They had all been Nazi or Nationalist Socialist Movement in the Netherlands sympathisers and they had all enjoyed material benefits due to their position with the field hospital. In a few cases, it seems they had longed for interaction with soldiers, or men in general, and sometimes they had simply craved for an adventurous life far from home.
第二次世界大战期间，一群荷兰护士选择加入“东线救护车部队”，这是一家设在东线、颇具争议但目前相对鲜为人知的战地医院。她们这样做是在支持德国的战争行动。本案例研究详细阐述了这些女性做出这一最终被判定为“错误”的选择的动机，重点强调了她们作为护士在公共领域所扮演的独特性别角色。通过深入了解一小群“犯错”的女性，本文旨在呼吁对德国占领期间荷兰女性面临的限制和机遇的性别背景展开进一步研究。这些护士报名参军似乎有着各种各样有意无意的动机。几乎所有人后来都声称自己是出于“使命感”。她们都是纳粹或荷兰国家社会主义运动的同情者，而且由于在战地医院的职位，她们都享受到了物质待遇。在少数情况下，她们似乎渴望与士兵或一般男性交往，有时她们只是渴望远离家乡过一种充满冒险的生活。
