  Reichsarbeitsdienst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reichsarbeitsdienst (or RAD, Reich Labour Service) was an Auxiliary formation which provided support for the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War.
Auxiliary forces with this status while not a part of the Armed Forces themselves, provided such vital support that they were given protection under the Geneva Convention.
The RAD was divided into two major sections, the Reichsarbeitsdienst Männer (RAD/M) for men and the Reichsarbeitdienst der weiblichen Jugend (RAD/wJ) for women.

 Konstantin Hierl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Konstantin Hierl (February 24, 1875-September 23, 1955) was a major figure in the administration of the Third Reich, and head of the Reichsarbeitsdienst as well as an associate of Adolf Hitler before he came to power.
In 1919, as a major in the Reichswehr's Political Department in Munich, Hierl ordered the ex-soldier Adolf Hitler to attend a meeting of the German Workers Party (which soon became the Nazi Party).
In 1934 it was yet again renamed, this time as the Reichsarbeitsdienst, and Hierl would control it to the very end of WWII.

 Reichsarbeitsdienst RAD Third Reich Nazi Index   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Voluntary Reichsarbeitsdienst in the New Germany has always been of great interest to me. As soon as in 1933 I had, as already mentioned, viewed a Reichsarbeitsdienst camp as well as the Reichsarbeitsdienst’s leadership school in Potsdam.
I submitted an application to allow me, as a foreigner, to spend several days in a camp among the Reichsarbeitsdienst men and to participate in their daily routine and perform the same services as they.
In the eating and meeting rooms one sees the emblems of the swastika and of the spade, which is the symbol of the Reichsarbeitsdienst.

The subject of her essay was 'The Hand that Moved the Cradle, Moved the World.' Being fond of children, she became a kindergarten teacher at the Fröbel Institute in Ulm-Söflingen.
She had also chosen this kindergarten job hoping that it would be recognized as an alternate service to Reichsarbeitsdienst (National Labor Service), a prerequisite to be admitted to the University.
This was an error: from spring of 1941 on, she had to serve six months of auxiliary war service as a nursery teacher in Blumberg.

The Reichsarbeitsdienst was a vast paramilitary organization similar to the Braunhemden, or S.A., but designed for boys approaching manhood to receive systematic training not only in labor, camping, sports, and Nazi ideology, but also in soldiering (Shirer 254).
Knappe’s labor service concluded with the honor of his being among the 10% of the Labor Service recruits who, after months of practice and hard work, were selected to march in the historic September 1938 Nuremburg Rally that was attended by Hitler himself along with all of the German command (p95).
After his service in the Reichsarbeitsdienst was complete, Knappe became a soldat in the German Army where he volunteered to serve in the artillery.

"On the morning of February, 16th, (1945) a Russian detachment occupied the RAD (Reichsarbeitsdienst) camp Vilmsee near Neustettin.
The Commissar told me in good German language that the camp was dissolved and that we, as a unit with uniforms (RAD - German Labour Service, not military uniforms), would be transported to a collection camp.
Since I, as a Brazilian citizen, belong to an allied nation, he asked me to take over as a leader of the transport that went to Neustettin, into the yard of a former iron foundry.
