Thanks for showing these...The photos remind me of the stories from my German Oma, who was a BdM Girl, and I was fortunate enough to have many, many conversations with her about the experience...Overall she liked the BdM, but she didn't like the mandatory Landjahr...she said the farmers didn't treat them well...
During the war, she worked in a Mannheim "Kabelwerk", producing communications wire...
cheers, Glenn
