- Das deutsche Mädel
-
Das deutsche Mädel (Eng: The German Girl or Maiden) was the Nazi magazine aimed at German girls, particularly members of League of German Girls.[1]
Unlike the adventure orientation of Der Pimpf, intended for Hitler Youth, Das deutsche Mädel urged hiking, tending the wounded, hard work in factories, and preparing for motherhood.[1] On the other hand, in contrast to the woman's magazine with some propaganda, NS-Frauen-Warte, it lay far more emphasis on the strong and active German woman; health, education, service, and sports all featured, and famous women depicted included doctors, athletes, poets, and pilots.[2]
Articles in it included describing a speech by Jutta Rüdiger when she was appointed to lead The League of German Girls,[3] telling the girls of their duties to Germany,[4], and a story of how Young Girls had ensured that a dead father's promise to his son was fulfilled.[5]
