The BDM

The BDM was a branch to the Hitler Youth. The BDM was the girls version of the Hitler youth. BDM stands for Bund Deutscher Mädel or Band of German Maidens. The BDM were trained to focus on their health so they could have healthy children. Some of the other frequented topics of the BDM are farming and motherhood. The BDM girls were allowed to play sports in public although at the time it was quite revolutionary. Although the Hitler Youth and BDM were separate groups that were very different they did still have some common topics that were taught like racial purity (eugenics) and racial sciences.
