 Membership in the National Union
Shortly after coming to power the Nazis outlawed all unions and replaced them with a single national union called the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, or the German Worker's Front, headed by Dr. Robert Ley.
The Arbeitsfront had a subsidiary group called the "Kraft durch Freude", or "Strength through Joy" movement.
The design on the front cover with the swastika inside the gear was the logo for the Arbeitsfront and appeared on many union-made manufactured goods in Germany during the 30s.

Seeing all labour unions as a threat to this dream, he almost immediately forbid all such activities in Germany.
However, he needed the workers on his side to reach his goals, and so he founded the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF) or German Labour Front, of which every worker had to become a member.
But the KdF-program was not only a way to keep the labourers content, it was also a good way to make use of ships that would otherwise had been laid up because of the Depression.

In crisis-stricken Europe, the German Volkswagen group, which dates back to the 1930s, is the largest car manufacturer.
Like those at the helm of IG Farben and the Deutsche Bank, its founder, Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951), came to personify the big business which placed itself at the service of the Nazi war machine, benefiting directly from the regime’s generosity and its inhuman labour legislation.
Among Ferdinand Porsche’s close friends were, besides the Führer himself, Dr Robert Ley, leader of the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront), Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and Fritz Sauckel, who rejoiced in the pompous title of General Plenipotentiary for Manpower Allocation (Generalbevollmächtigter für den Arbeitseinsatz).
