The first female group established in 1927 evolved into the BDM by July 1930 and in July 1932 it gained equal political status with the HJ. The BDM was structured in the same manner as the HJ with different unit designations. The BDM Mädelgruppe was equivalent in size to the HJ Gefolgschaft, and would consist roughly of 150 personnel.
