Synopsis

Hitler's Girls is not just another Hitler Youth history book. Concentrating purely on the role of German girls in Hitler’s Third Reich, we learn of their home lives, schooling, exploitation and eventual militarization from firsthand accounts of women who were indoctrinated into the Jung Madel and Bund Deutcscher Madel as young girls. From the prosperous beginnings of 1933 to the cataclysmic defeat of 1945, this insightful book examines in detail their specific roles as defined by the Nazi state.
Few historical literary works have gone as deep to find the truth, the conscience and the regret, and in this sense Hitler's Girls is a unique work unlike any other so far published. Written in an attempt to provide a definitive voice for this unheard generation of German females, it will leave the reader to decide for themselves whether or not the girls were the obedient accessories to genocide, and it will lead many readers to question many aspects of what they have previously thought about the role of girls and young women in Hitler’s Third Reich. This is their story.

An interesting look at the indoctrination of girls and young women in Nazi Germany with many interview extracts in their own words as the women looked back on their lives from around the year 2000. They showed great courage in speaking out, especially in the final sections of the book which deal wit......more

Goodreads review by Anna on January 06, 2018

This is a well structured, well crafted book of accounts never seen or heard before; the girls of the Nazi regime. In just over 200 pages Heath skillfully managed to portray the life of Girls starting from early on the Nazi's rise to power up until the end of WW2. Very recommended to everyone with in......more

Goodreads review by Ari on January 14, 2026

The book description says everything. Very detailed social history, even about small life details as if you were there. Just don’t read if you feel squimish. Bet the orange guy can dream-wish he could have a movement like this for himself.......more
