Rare German Arbeitsdienst Book from the Third Reich 1930's depicting young, healthy and strong working men. These are pictures with bare upper bodies, showing them doing hard work in the countryside, digging drainage ditches, filling a wagon or lifting a derailed wagon, but also peeling potatoes, grooming themselves, physical education, and doing morning exercise, all semi-nude.
And of course, generally an overview of the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD), what is expected of its members, etc.
Naturally there are more photos (non-nude) of Reichsarbeitsfuhrer Konstantin Hierl, Hierl and A.H. at the 1935 Reichsparteitag, Hierl with Reichsminister Frick, Hierl visiting the RAD barracks, Hierl meeting RAD men, RAD gliding in the Rhön, roll calls, camaraderie, road building, thousands of RAD men marching through Nuremberg during the 1934 Reichsparteitag, the RAD tent camp at the 1935 Reichsparteitag, men from the RAD school in Potsdam marching in downtown Berlin, etc.
The book concludes with a two-page spread of Labor Service insignia and rank badges.
