Historical reference.

The Association of German Girls (German: Bund Deutscher Mädel, BDM or BdM) was a women's youth organization in Nazi Germany, which included German girls aged 14 to 18 years.

The first small organizations of girls under the auspices of the NSDAP appeared in 1923. Since 1933, all women's youth associations were forcibly transferred to the subordination of the Association of German Girls. And since 1936, mandatory membership in the "BDM" was established at the legislative level for all German girls, with the exception of girls of Jewish nationality and others for "racial reasons."

The Association of German Girls instilled racial consciousness: a real German girl should be the guardian of the purity of blood and people and raise his sons as heroes. During World War II, BDM girls worked in hospitals, participated in air defense and worked in agriculture.
