Contemplating some steampunk cosplays for next year. That'd be awesome if you guys knew of any from WWII - German side (I own a full-metal MP40 airsoft gun to play with). I'm also 5' 11".
Thanks a ton!
Although I cannot name any specific tall women, I can provide a few images of (or related to) women in Germany during and between the World Wars. It's a little too modern for steampunk (especially WWII), but it might help with your design choices:
Amelie Beese, aviator 1915.
Gas mask factory in Switzerland 1917.
Marlene Dietrich screen test for Blue Angel 1930
Idealized female nude statuary. Berlin Olympics, 1936.
BDM (Bund Deutscher Mädel) or League of German Girls haymaking in 1939.
BDM gymnastics in 1941.
Deutsches Frauenwerk badge early 1940's.
