Das Deutsche Madel Magazine

#1

Das Deutsche Madel (The German Girl), was a monthly magazine for the women's section of the Hitler Youth movement, the Bund Deutscher Madel (BDM), published between 1933-1945. Many of the covers were in colour. It particularly emphasised female strength in sports, health and education, and depicted famous women including doctors, athletes and pilots. It was the NSDAP's ideal of the German woman.

I have several of these magazines, they were not intended for women, but for young girls, from the Jungmädel to teenagers, they are very interesting and there were different editions between the regions, I think the most interesting time was when Lydia Schürer-Stolle was the publisher between 1937 and 1939, after which it completely declined. The last year of publication was 1944, and they covered two months each. The last one is from august-September of that year.

These are some covers of the copies that I have, appreciate the quality and art of the covers, they are very thin magazines, with delicate paper.

Thanks Helly,

interesting covers of the monthly magazine of the time, thank you for your contribution.

For the most part destroyed after 1945 by the former recipients, it is rare to find privately...
