These were worn by personnel of the RAD (Reichsarbeitsdienst), which was the organisation that all young men had to serve in prior to entring the Wehrmacht. It gave them basic military skills and got them fit for service. The RAD were used for major construction projects in Germany before the war (eg buildling autobahns and bridges). It is built around a stiff card base, with a buckram backing and an overlay of grey felted wool, together with dark green piping and aluminium braid. Its condition is excellent. |
