Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD), a National Labour Service. The RAD was formed in July 1934 as the official state labor service. RAD members were to provide service for various civic, military & agricultural construction projects. Konstantin Hierl was its leader all through the organization's lifetime. Broke down class barriers and gave men jobs in public work schemes like building Schools and Hospitals Wore military uniforms and lived in camps Given only pocket money as wages For thousands of men it was better than life with no work at all Free meals were given In 1935 it was compulsory for men at the age of year old to do 6 months service in RAD. Work was usually exhausting.

Many Jews and Womens were forced out of their jobs. In March 1935 a Compulsory Military Service was started for young men and air force was set up. The army grew quickly from 100, 000 men in 1933 to 1, 400,000 in 1939.

Hitler abolished all trade unions and set up the German Labour Front in their place. Dr Robert Ley, a former chemist, is the leader of the German Labour Front. He made some improvements in the life of the workers, making sure bosses couldn’t sack workers on the spot, workers couldn’t leave the a job without the government’s permission and that only government run labour exchanges. He abolished the right of the workers to bargain for higher wages, made strikes illegal and got rid of the limitations on the number of hours a worker could be made to work. By 1939 many Germans found themselves working hours a week (D.A F)

Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled every part of people’s lives including their free time. Stands for Kraft Durch Freude, meaning “Strength through Joy”. Leader of KDF was Dr Robert Ley, who was also the leader of the German Labour Front It did not confine itself to trips and concerts and it also got involved in a scheme to enable German workers to buy their own car, the “Volkswagon Project” (‘people’s car’). Dr Ley persuaded people to hire purchase the car before the Volkswagon factory goes into production But none of the customers received a car by the time WW2 broke out in 1939 and none of the money paid for the cars was ever refunded. The Volkswagon plant then had turned into weapons production. KDF gave them cheap theatre & cinema tickets,& organised courses, trips,& sports events.
