	Labour Front
		Wages were now decided by the Labour Front and compulsory deductions made for income tax, and for its Strength through Joy programme.
		The Labour Front also issued work-books that recorded the worker's employment record and no one could be employed without one.
		The Law Regulating National Labour of January 20, 1934, known as the Charter of Labour, had put the worker in his place and raised the employer to his old position of absolute master - subject, of course, to interference by the all-powerful State.

	Hitler y Stalin
		Some French movements supported the German invasion; the main reasons were - in words of Gabriel Jackson- `the sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes masochistic acceptance of the defeat and efforts purely opportunistic to obtain a small piece of power and personal favours of the winners'.
		German concentration camps and Soviet gulags were often where scientific atrocietes were carried out, or where supposed inneficient mental people were deported to.
		The German case was the Holocaust or Final Solution and the Soviet case was the Stalin purges.

	Saukel Nuremberg Tribunal Judgment, 1946
		One of the important parts of this mobilisation was the systematic exploitation, by force, of the labour resources of the occupied territories.
		His regulations provided that his Commissioners should have authority for obtaining labour, and he was constantly in the field supervising the steps which were being taken.
		He was aware of ruthless methods being taken to obtain labourers, and vigorously supported them on the ground that they were necessary to fill the quotas.

	Apparatus_of_Power
		Germans were made to feel part of a great and successful movement - in this respect the 1936 Olympic Games were a propaganda coup.
		German girls went to the BDM and learned how to be good mothers, and to love Hitler.
		In their place, Hitler put the German Labour Front which reduced workers' pay and took away the right to strike.

	Volkswagen’s history of forced labour , by Frederic F Clairmont
		German workers did, admittedly, enjoy full employment, but, as William Schirer has said (4), this was at the cost of being reduced to serfdom and poverty wages.
		The Volkswagen plant was completed in 1938 after Italian labour was brought in (exploitation of foreign workers was to become a constant in Volkswagen’s labour policy).
		Without foreign labour, and in particular that of Soviet slaves, the whole of German industry would have collapsed: in the spring of 1945, Volkswagen’s workforce was 90% non-German.

	The Nazis and Monopoly Capital
		The Labour Front, though it nominally included both workers and employers in a party controlled organisation, was effectively confined to the function of combatting class consciousness and indoctrinating the workers with Nazi ideas.
		German monopoly capital was not, however, a single interest, but was split into rival groupings which, while sharing a common interest in the suppression of the labour movement and in imperialist expansion in general, differed on important questions of policy and strategy.
		To the German monopolists it must have seemed that the launching of a war of expansion from an unfavourable situation, in which many factors were against them, could only be achieved by a reckless gamble which was only practicable if opposition were silenced and power concentrated in one man. This in itself involved risks.

	The Avalon Project : Judgment : Speer
		Shortly thereafter he was made a Department Head in the German Labour Front and the official in charge of Capital Construction on the staff of the Deputy to the Fuehrer, positions which he held through 1941.
		Speer has argued that he advocated the reorganisation of the labour programme to place a greater emphasis on utilisation of German labour in war production in Germany and on the use of labour in occupied countries in local production of consumer goods formerly produced in Germany.
		Speer's position was such that he was not directly concerned with the cruelty in the administration of the slave labour programme, although he was aware of its existence.

	TGOL - Robert Ley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		The idea was rather simple: as a member of the German Labour Front or the Nazi Party, everyone would be given the opportunity of a low-price ship cruise to various destinations.
		The German working class simply loved the exotic destinations that were offered, as they could never have dreamed that they would someday experience such voyages.
		The Germans knew that the war was lost, and called in every available ship to deal with the massive evacuation task.

	sociology - Nazi Germany
		The Third Reich is an Anglicization of the German expression Drittes Reich, and is used as a near-synonym for Nazi Germany, that refers to the government and its agencies rather than the land and its people.
		Most ordinary Germans, happy with the improving economy and better standard of living remained obedient and quiet, but many political opponents, especially communists and socialists, were reported by omnipresent eavesdropping spies, and put in prison camps where they were severely mistreated, and many tortured and killed.
		The German exodus from Eastern Europe, that was initiated by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, was after the war completed when virtually all Germans in Central Europe were evacuated to west of the Oder-Neisse line, with up to about 10 million ethnic Germans affected.

		The Gestapo was responsible for enforcing a rigid labour discipline on the slave labourers and Kaltenbrunner established a series of labour reformatory camps for this purpose.
		German citizenship in the occupied countries as well as in the Reich came under his urisdiction while he was Minister of the Interior.
		He testified that when the war began, the guide to submarine warfare was the German Prize Ordinance taken almost literally from the Protocol, that pursuant to the German view, he ordered submarines to attack all merchant ships in convoy, and all that refused to stop or used their radio upon sighting a submarine.

		Their work would have included digging ditches on farms to assist irrigation, building the new autobahns, planting new forests etc. The men of the RAD wore a military style uniform, lived in camps near to where they were working and received only what we would term pocket money.
		However, compared to the lack of success of the Weimar government and the chronic misery of 1931 to 1932, these men felt that at least the Nazi government was making the effort to improve their lot.
		However, the GLF increased the number of hours worked from 60 to 72 per week (including overtime) by 1939.

	The Nazi Terror
		To appease the Nazis, Otto Wels, the chairman of the SPD, resigned from the Bureau of the Labour and Socialist International.
		The multi-million German labour movement - with a Marxist tradition extending over 75 years - was the most powerful and respected in the world.
		We need a leadership capable of mobilising the colossal power of the labour movement to put an end to capitalism and Stalinism once and for all - and with it the system that gave birth to the monstrous fascist regimes of the inter-war period.

		The greatest emphasis was laid on the supreme mission of the German people to lead and dominate by virtue of their Nordic blood and racial purity and the ground was thus being prepared for the acceptance of the idea of German world supremacy.
		In announcing this action to the German Reichstag, Hitler endeavoured to justify the re-entry by references to the recently concluded alliances between France and the Soviet Union, and between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union.
		The restoration of the German frontiers of 1914 is declared to be wholly insufficient, and if Germany is to exist at all, it must be as a world power with the necessary territorial magnitude.

	HITLER 1936-1945 - Ian Kershaw - Penguin UK
		In 1936, the German people – at any rate the vast majority of them – revelled in the national pride that Hitler (almost single-handedly) had restored to the country.
		Most Germans, whatever their grumbles, were at least in some respects Hitler supporters by summer 1936.
		As self-confidence returned during the first years of the Hitler dictatorship, as the economy recovered, as rearmament began to gather pace, and as the regime swept from one diplomatic triumph to another, the varying ideas of German expansion and dominance began gradually to congeal and to seem increasingly realistic.

	German Labour Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF) was the National Socialist national unity workers' organisation for free and diverse trade unions, which were outlawed in 1933 after Hitler's rise to power.
		DAF membership was theoretically voluntary, but any workers in any area of German commerce or industry would have found it hard to get a job without being a member.

		I ask the leaders of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force to strengthen the National Socialist spirit of resistance of our soldiers by all possible means, with special emphasis on the fact that I myself, as founder and creator of the movement, prefer death to cowardly resignation or even to capitulation.
		May it become a point of honour of future German army officers, as it is already in our Navy, that the surrender of a district or town is out of the question, and that, above everything else, the commanders must set a shining example of faithful devotion to duty unto death.
		I ask of all Germans, of all National Socialists, men and women and all soldiers of the Wehrmacht, that they remain faithful and obedient unto death to the new government and its President.

	Fordism, mass tourism and the third reich: the "Strength through Joy" seaside resort as an index fossil ...
		Four days after Hitler was made Reichskanzler, he outlined his agenda in front of military commanders: the first objective was to gain total power by abolishing democracy and "eradicating Marxism root and branch." (1) In doing so the new regime proved to be a master in political staging.
		And again, two years later Ley held a ceremony which was to mark a "new era." On May 2nd 1936, amidst a crowd of workers and men in uniform, he laid a foundation stone at Prora Bay on the Island of Rugen.
		When in 1927 Fritz Lang's lavish film came to German cinemas it proved to be a financial disaster; all too hopeless was his vision of the future world as a machinelike organism.

	Hitlers Achievements
		He could quickly solve even the most intractable labor dispute by the simple expedient of jailing anyone who refused the dictates of the 'German Labour Front'.
		As for political terror, all the leftists were imprisoned while the terror of the right was given state sanction, thus 'order'.
		As for "the vilest rape that nations and human beings have ever been expected to submit to", Hitler would far surpass in cruelty the provisions of any treaty one can recall in his treatment of the nations he conquered, as well as the humanity within Germanys own borders.

	German Labour Front (NSDAP, Germany)
		After they took power all of these were nationalized and merged into the German Labor Front and at first the NSBO became a cell group within the DAF.
		It was apparently not officially part of the party — at least I have not been able to find it in lists, etc. and it is not mentioned, as far as I can find, in the Party Organization Book for 1943 nor in the 1939 list of organizations whose insignia are protected by law.
		The insignia on the unidentified flag roughly corresponds to that on the membership insignia, although the disk with the swastika is much too large and I still suspect it to be hand made.

		Despite possessing only rudimentary knowledge of automobile design theory, Hitler sketched a drawing of the rounded front end that he desired for the car after he had seen some early designs.
		With this and other design problems solved, the German government took over the car in 1937 as a state funded, German Labour Front project.
		In order to finance the building of the factory, the Labour Front party began a program whereby individuals could purchase a Wagen by making deposits in a savings book.

	Strength Through Joy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kraft durch Freude (KdF, literally "strength through joy") was a large state-controlled leisure organization in Third Reich, a part of the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeiterfront (DAF)), the national German labour organization.
		However, due to the start of World War II very little of this was realised and both the factory and the rest of KdF became focused on supporting the war efforts.
		The intention was that ordinary Germans would buy the car by means of a savings scheme ("Fünf Mark die Woche musst Du sparen, willst Du im eigenen Wagen fahren" — "Save five Marks a week, if you desire to drive your own car") which around 336,000 people eventually paid into.

		According to Nazi ideology, the state economy should be corporate - harkening back to the days of feudalism - rather than either socialist or capitalist in structure.
		For example, the ideology proposed that German labour relations should be regulated by trade organisations that would embrace both labour and management.
		Within its framework, labour and management were to work as an autonomous unit to settle conflicts of interests in labour relations, market prices, and competition.
