Özet:

A good mother and a good wife in Nazism ideology was presented as the main task of German women. German women, idealized by Nazi propaganda, were integrated into their families and housework. On the other hand, providing for livelihood of the house and working hard in industry and agriculture when necessary were reflected as a duty attributed to German men. This process began to change when Nazi Germany entered World War II. In this study, it was revealed how and in what way the German young girls were presented at Das Deutsche Mädel, the official magazine of the German Labor Union (Bund Deutscher Mädel) of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) during the war in Nazi propaganda. For this purpose, six magazine covers which were determined by using the sampling method from the covers used by Das Deutsche Mädel during the general mobilization were examined using semiotic analysis within the qualitative research methods. The cover of the magazine was analyzed by French linguist Roland Barthes.In the findings of the study, it was aimed at young German girls to involve Nazi Germany in mobilization. So propaganda myths including the help of German soldiers, obedience to Hitler and the fulfillment of the duties given in the war were built. Thus, it was intended that German young girls contribute to the mobilization by using the "struggle" phenomenon in Nazism ideology.
