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

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

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