The League of German Girls or the Bund Deutscher Mädel, abbreviated as BDM. This was the girls' wing of the National Socialistic Party youth movement, the Hitler Youth. It was the only legal female youth organization in Germany during the years 1933 - 1945.
At first, the League consisted of two sections: the Jungmädelbund ("Young Girls' League") for girls aged 10 to 14, and the League proper for girls aged 14 to 18. In 1938, a third section was introduced, the BDM-Werk Glaube und Schönheit ("Faith and Beauty Society"), which was voluntary and open to girls between the ages of 17 and 21.
