Yeah... the battle for Berlin was possibly one of the nastiest battles of the entire war- in Europe, anyway.
And really, by that point, there wasn't anything I can see the germans doing that would have had any significant effect on the battle. The russian commanders didn't really care at that point about casualties (Zhukov and Konev racing for the "glory")- so even if an idea as far-fetched as arming the women did happen, it simply- like redcoat suggested- would have resulted in more people on both sides being killed.

Something the russians didn't much care about, and the germans certainly didn't need.
