Reichs
Labor Service [Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD)]
Formed
in the late 1920s and early 1930s by its leader, Konstantin
Heirl, for the purpose of eliminating the mass unemployment
existing among the youth of Germany. Every young German
male was required to serve a period of six months in the
RAD prior to joining the Army. The men lived in camps and
were trained in drill, marching, and digging, but were not
armed. The organization may be compared to the U.S. Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) Program instituted in this country
at the same time to combat the unemployment problem. With
the onset of war in 1939, the RAD members were given military
training and subsequently, transferred directly into the
Nazi Armed Forces. During the war, RAD members were called
upon to level roads and airfields, clear away rubble, collect
captured war material, and generally perform manual labor
in the occupied territories. For more information click

the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich", or some of the
other reference books that we offer.
