"Trude Mohr, the National Speaker of the Bund Deutscher M�del, together with other prominent BDM leaders wrote this inspirational training manual originally titled ""M�del im Dienst."" Being a BDM girl was never more exciting than with this new program of resources. Eye opening activities from self-defense, sharpening the senses, and intelligence service compliments the physical exercise, home evenings and practicalities the girls would learn. In this English version, publisher and author Cynthia A. Sandor shows how the girls were educated in camaraderie, discipline, and preservation of their race. The BDM used campfire romanticism, summer camps, folklore, traditions, and sports to instruct the girls and to train them for their roles in German society, becoming a wife, mother, and homemaker. The purpose of these activities was to promote good health, which would enable them to serve their people and their country. Translated from German by Vera Filthaut. Published by BDM History."
