Reichs Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach about HJ and BDM
Every boy wants to become a man and every girl a mother.
I believe in comradeship between girls and boys, not a comradeship in which one always crouches together, no comradeship in mutual confession, comradeship in mutual action…. the relationship between HJ and BDM requires mutual respect. The Hitler youth boy should respect the BDM girl or go to hell. If we can't do this, how can we be the future?
As
the boy strives for strength, so the girl strives for beauty. But the
BDM does not subscribe to the mendacious ideal of made-up and external
beauty, but strives for that honest beauty, which lies in the harmonious
formation of the body and in the noble triad of body, soul and spirit.
The generation that wants to be the German future needs heroic women.
The BDM is supposed to produce those proud and noble women who,
conscious of their highest worth, want to belong only to their equals.
