Gisela adores her brother Bear, her gorgeous BDM uniform and
her little half-brother Jens. She does her best to be a good German citizen and
is keen to help restore Germany to its former glory. She becomes a competent
and respected BDM leader.
But life begins to turn sour. Her oldest brother Kurt can be
violent, she soon realises that she is different from other girls, she feels
uncomfortable around her mother’s new lover and there is something not quite
right about Jens. It becomes more and
more difficult to be the perfect German young woman.
Girl in a Smart
Uniform is the third book in the Schellberg
Cycle, a collection of novels
inspired by a bunch of photocopied letters that arrived at a small cottage in
Wales in 1979.
The letters give us some insights into what life was like
growing up in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.
This novel explores what may have motivated young women
growing up in Nazi Germany and offers an explanation as to how a school for
disabled children was allowed to carry on functioning throughout World War
II.
