Trude - BDM leader 1940-43
Submitted by carolyn on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 17:44
The Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls) was the female component to the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth). As a trained leader and teacher in the BDM, Trude attended a number of the summer camps that took place in various locations in the Ostmark. This is reflected in these photo album pages that I received from Willi.
