The effects of WWII on the German people in many different ways; Social, as well as Military differences. One of the social effect were women in the workforce, while, most men went off to war. When the men came home (those who survived or weren't imprisoned) in the decades that proceeded the women went back to the home to take care of the family and housework. Another social effect was the trail of rape that Red Army left behind them, women of all ages were wounded and left distraught during this time. Experts say, between several tens of thousands to more than 2,000,000 were victims of rape, often repeatedly, leaving the women of Eastern Germany's attitudes effected towards sex and leaving a gap between men and women for a long time. Some still feel this effect today.
The military effect are more positive, World War II was the mark of advancing aircraft and guided missiles making the battleship, along with the coastal firearms, obsolete. Hiroshima was hit with some of the first atomic bombs, making World War II the start of the Nuclear era.

Comments for Revision:
confusing/awkward sentence structure: "The effects of WWII on the German people in many different ways; Social, as well as Military differences."
Proper word usage/meaning: "proceeded" means heading forward, but I think you meant to say "in the years that followed."
Be sure to watch out for any sentence fragments or run-ons as well.
