During a July 2019 "Vulture" interview Christopher Meloni (who plays Commander Winslow) says that the show's writers told him that the six children of whom Winslow is so proud were not actually the products of his own fertility; rather, they were mostly stolen from the houses of other Commanders Winslow killed. In a September 2019 interview on National Public Radio (to promote the release of the source novel's sequel, "The Testaments"), Margaret Atwood told interviewer Scott Simon that this plot element in both the TV series and in the two handmaid novels was (like many details about the Gilead regime) taken from a real aspect of world history: "when you go back through periods of war, disruption, totalitarian regimes, there has been a lot of baby stealing over the years. Argentinean generals, during their reign [during the 1980s dictatorship], would, if they had some prisoners who were female and pregnant, wait until the woman gave birth, and then they would drop her out of a plane and give the baby to --guess what?--some Argentinean generals. And those children are now discovering their antecedents: in a few words, 'Hey, my parents killed my parents'."
