Late news from Barcelona reveals another German fiction going round
the world: the story that the world's first sex doll was invented by
the Nazis for their troops.

The story started as a website with a German and 'English' page (links
to current version).

Jens Baumeister has followed its path to international fame (in German).

The Wehrmacht are claimed to have wanted to keep this top secret, and
they certainly succeeded until that website appeared. Thereafter began
its voyage to fame on the Web.

This started when Ariel Magnus of taz used the story as a hook (?
Aufhänger) for a long article on sex dolls, which started with
Borghild, continued with Real Dolls in the USA (I didn't look at their
site, as you have to be over 18) and reached its climax in Andy the
android, of Nuremberg of all places, despite the name a woman (like
Borghild, Andy resurfaced in BILD a few days later on 20 April).

There then appeared a number of articles, first in German then in
English. All seemed to be based on the one website, since the website
misspelt the name of Joachim Mrugowsky and so did they. So there's no
other evidence available. BILD did the usual thing of milking the
story for all it was worth, only to quote an expert saying there is no
evidence.

Just two English versions: Boing Boing and Secular Blasphemy.

Baumeister shows the site was altered and photos described as
originals later described as reconstructions.

Baumeister finds the domain borghild.de registered in the name of Mike
Cospro in Neumarkt. The name sounds invented and is not in the
Neumarkt phone book (there is a cosmetics firm of that name, but
presumably that is an amalgamation of COSmetics and PROfessional).

There is an email address on the Borghild site, but I haven't tried it.

Borghild indeed - the very name sounds like a hoax (said to have been
coined by a Danish Nazi, in place of the German Burghild, but sounds
like a play on 'borgen' - to lend or borrow). I wonder if someone
spelt Burghild wrong when they bought the domain?
