Trude - BDM leader 1940-43

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.
