WW2 German RAD Workers Book

The WW2 German RAD Workers Book is an original identification and record booklet issued to members of the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD), or Reich Labour Service, during the period of the Third Reich. The RAD was a major labor organization in Nazi Germany, established to provide mandatory public works service and as a form of pre-military training. The book typically contains the individual’s personal information, service records, assignments, and official stamps or notations documenting their period of employment within the RAD. It often features printed and handwritten entries, and may include the RAD insignia on the cover. These booklets were required for administrative purposes, serving both as proof of service and for the dissemination of official directives. The item provides historical insight into the organization and operation of the Reich Labour Service as well as into the documentation practices of wartime Germany. This booklet is of interest for study of World War II era bureaucratic processes and labor organizations.
