Title Arbeitsdienst administration officer's collar patch
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

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.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
