While originally a boys' movement, in 1928 a separate girls organization was added in 1929 called Schwesternschaft der Hitler-Jugend, it was renamed Bund Deutscher Määdel (BDM) in 1930 and a section for younger females, the Jungmäädelgruppe, was added in 1931.
Young German women were indoctrinated with the values of obedience, duty, self-sacrifice, discipline and physical self-control. The goal of girls in the BDM was to prepare women for motherhood and raise children who would be educated in the ways of National Socialism. They were indoctrinated with "racial pride" and told to avoid any contact with Jews.
During World War II, the girls of the BDM played a significant role in the ideological and propaganda side. The girls' division of Hitler Youth was much more ideological then the boys'. Sometimes estranged from their families, the girls would become their family's ideological guides and guards.
As the war progressed, the group took on the work of men drafted into the armed forces, manned anti-aircraft defenses and also produced many soldiers, especially for the Waffen SS, notably the 12th SS Panzer division under Kurt Meyer. As Germany was invaded, members of the HJ were taken into the army at ever younger ages, and, during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, they were a major part of the German defenses.

Young girls formed the Hitlerjugend which was taught to teach the young boys the principles of Nazi ways.
