Actually women were not in the "Nazi army" at all - not even late war. Referring to "Nazi army" would be referring to political armed forces (that is more commonly known as the SS troops of different military services). However, German females did take part in military actions as part of the Deutcher Volksturm (ie. "people's militia"). Those were simply people defending their cities and homes against occupying forces. A distinction between militia forces, regular army and the SS (the armed forces of the Nazi party) is in order. The Nazi party official line was that women were the key part in making more Aryans - hence high-ranked SS officers and party officials were not only encouraged but pressured into having many women with whom they should make offspring. Not entirely off-topic, but I guess I won't be hanged for saying this :)
