Der Pimpf (German: [deːɐ̯ ˈpɪmpf], "The Boy") was the Nazi magazine for boys, particularly those in the Deutsches Jungvolk, with adventure and propaganda.[1] It first appeared in 1935 as Morgen, changing its name to Der Pimpf in 1937; its publication ceased in July, 1944.[1]

It included adventures of troops of Hitler Youth.[2] Its last issue urged the boys to model themselves on the SS, and spoke of the SS Division "Hitler Jugend".[3]

The female counterpart, Das deutsche Mädel, lacked this emphasis on adventure.[4]
