Several "bride schools" were set up with the aim of providing the perfect partners for Adolf Hitler's henchmen. Regulations dictated that young women would be taught "washing, cooking, childcare and home design" before they could walk up the aisle with the men who would staff death camps and rule conquered lands with an iron fist. They were also instructed in social niceties - such as how to hold conversations at cocktail parties - and how to bring up their children worshipping not God or Jesus Christ, but Hitler. The League of German Girls, Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM) was the girls' wing of the Nazi Party youth movement, the Hitler Youth. In 1936, Nazi supporter and school graduate Hildegard Trutz was recruited as one of Germany's racially 'pure' women, chosen to have sex with SS officers in the hope of producing an Aryan child.
