For useful sources in English on Nazi-era heterosexuality, may I suggest
autobiographies? I think of it because I am reading Berndt Engelman's _In
Hitler's Germany_ at the moment and his female cousins' marital and sexual
relations with SS members are something on which he focuses and passes
judgement. Memoirs abound in English translation, and those written and
published since the 1960's may be more open about sexuality than those
from earlier decades. Of course, they will also be distorted by the
passage of time and concern for the author's present reputation.
Also, you don't mention Noakes and Pridham, the "bible" of German primary
sources in English translation for the period, and I believe your student
will find useful governmental documents, like the text of the Nuremburg
Laws, there. [Noakes, Jeremy, and Geoffrey Pridham, eds. _Nazism: A
History in Documents and Eyewitness Accounts, 1919-1945_. New York:
Schocken, 1990. 1983-88.]
I don't know of any memoirs of prostitution, in translation or not, but if
they exist, I expect there will be some mention of them in Grossman's or
Heineman's bibliography or notes. Finally, forced sterilization is another
issue of interest you have not mentioned - some of Gisela Bock's work on
this subject has appeared in English-language articles.
I hope this is helpful.
