History

In the early days of the organisation, uniforms were only loosely based on a general common pattern. Standardisation was achieved in 1933 in a regulation from August 10.

The Winter Overcoat was introduced in a regulation from July 18, 1934. It is a dark brown wool coat that was worn by both the members of the BDM and the JM organisation (Jungmädel, Young Girls).

The coat is double-breasted, with a lay-down collar and a broad lapel. It is closed on the left side by three buttons. There are three more buttons on the right side. However, later models had only two buttons on each side. There are two concealed slash pockets with flaps at the hips.

Leaders wore the same model, but, as of July 22, 1938, in dark blue.
