As far back as the 1930s, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler supposedly approved a project to distribute inflatable sex dolls to his soldiers.
The sex dolls which could be transported in soldiers’ backpacks were made in order to prevent the soldiers from visiting places of prostitution in Paris.
The project was called the Borghild Project and was aimed at combating the spread of syphilis among Nazi troops by supplying soldiers with sex dolls during World War II.
A total of fifty dolls were supposedly ordered for use in Jersey, France by officials, but the purported project was cancelled by military commander Heinrich Himmler after two years, because soldiers refused to carry them due to the fear of embarrassment if they were captured and one was found in their possession.
Recently, due to conflict of evidence, the existence and real story behind the Borghild Project has come under suspicion.
Still, it has been confirmed that some of the first sex dolls were invented by Dutch sailors in the seventeenth century who would be isolated at sea during long voyages.
These masturbatory dolls, referred to by the French as dame de voyage and by the Spanish as dama de viaje, were made of sewn cloth or old clothes and were a direct predecessor to today’s modern sex dolls.
