Der Pimpf (German:[deːɐ̯ˈpɪmpf], "The Boy") was the Nazi magazine for boys, particularly those in theDeutsches Jungvolk, with adventure and propaganda.[1] It first appeared in 1935 asMorgen, changing its name toDer Pimpf in 1937; its publication ceased in July, 1944.[1]
It included adventures of troops ofHitler Youth.[2] Its last issue urged the boys to model themselves on theSS, and spoke of theSS Division "Hitler Jugend".[3]
The female counterpart,Das deutsche Mädel, lacked this emphasis on adventure.[4]
The wordPimpf is slang for any member of theGerman Youth Movement, but later especially of theDeutsches Jungvolk, the youngest tier of the Hitler Youth. Its meaning inUpper German is "boy", "little rascal", "scamp", or "rapscallion", originally "little fart".[5]
