Katy Endruschat Goebel

Katy Endruschat Goebel was born in Bremen, Germany. She

is a university-graduate historian with a teaching degree for

secondary schools in history and German. In addition, she

is the successful organizer of several websites devoted to World

War II and postwar history.

The author has been interested in vintage attire and fashion

since her teenage years, and in the 1990s actively started

collecting and historically researching civilian clothing, shoes

and accessories from the 1930s-1940s era. Spurred by an interest

in the achievements of World War II American servicewomen

and the appeal of their military uniforms, her research was

extended to encompass the personal uniform collection shown

in the Women for Victory book series. The long years studying

World War II fashion styles have enabled authentic recreation

in the overall look of the modeled uniform outfits with correct

hairstyles, make-up, accessories, and typical wartime poses.

Katy Endruschat Goebel lives with her husband and son in

Wuppertal, Germany.
