Das Deutsche Mädel (German: [das ˈdɔʏtʃə ˈmɛːdl̩]; The German Girl) was the Nazi propaganda magazine aimed at girls, particularly members of League of German Girls. [1] In fact, it was the official organ of the League. [2] [3] The magazine was published on a monthly basis between 1933 and 1942. [2] [4]
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 placed 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. [5]
Articles in it included describing a speech by Jutta Rüdiger when she was appointed to lead The League of German Girls, [6] telling the girls who had just joined the Jungmädelbund of their duties to Germany, [7] and a story of how Young Girls had ensured that a dead father's promise to his son was fulfilled.
