WW2 Authentic German Propaganda Sign *Price Reduced*This metal sign for the Reich Labour Service (Reichsarbeitsdienst or RAD), specifically the "Arbeitsdank" (Labor Thanks) organization. The RAD was a major paramilitary organization in Nazi Germany established to reduce unemployment, militarize the workforce, and indoctrinate it with Nazi ideology. The Arbeitsdank was a welfare organization within the RAD, providing assistance to members who were injured or in need. All RAD members were required to contribute to the Arbeitsdank.
The sign features the RAD emblem: a shovel and two stalks of wheat, overlaid on a shield with a swastika. The words "ARBEIT" (work) and "DANK" (thanks) are written in a circle around the emblem. This symbol represented the RAD's mission to instill respect for manual labor and promote physical fitness. The motto "Arbeit adelt" ("work ennobles") was used to promote the RAD.
The RAD was established in 1935, and service was compulsory for young German men for six months. The organization was divided into sections for men and women. The Arbeitsdank was established in 1933 as part of the National Socialist Labor Service (NSAD), a precursor to the RAD.
