Minifigure – Jungmädel (a young member of the League of German Maidens) who has been mobilized into the Volkssturm (the “People’s Storm” national militia) during the final, desperate months of World War II in Germany (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a Jungmädel (a young member of the League of German Maidens) who has been mobilized into the Volkssturm (the “People’s Storm” national militia) during the final, desperate months of World War II in Germany. The text in the image explicitly confirms this identity as “Jungmädel im Volkssturm.”

The Volkssturm was a last-ditch militia formed in late 1944. It conscripted boys and older men, but girls from the League of German Maidens (BDM) were also involved, often serving in support roles as anti-aircraft assistants, messengers, and medics. This figure represents one of these teenage girls pressed into service.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and her medical case:

• The toy minifigure is wearing a mismatched uniform, which reflects the ad-hoc nature of the Volkssturm. It includes a blue-grey Luftwaffe-style tunic, a black skirt (represented as shorts), and a Stahlhelm (steel helmet). She wears both the Hitler Youth armband and the triangular BDM sleeve insignia.
• The accessory she is carrying is a brown medical case with very specific and sinister historical markings. It features a red cross, the Lebensrune (life rune), and the words “H-Lebensborn” and “Bad Polzin.” Lebensborn was an SS-run organization aimed at increasing the population of “racially pure” Aryan children, and Bad Polzin was the site of one of its first maternity homes. This suggests the girl is assigned a nursing or assistance role connected to this specific Nazi program.
