Footnote: The Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) was a major organization during the Third Reich Era to help mitigate the effects of unemployment following the collapse of the European economy, to militarize the workforce, and to indoctrinate it with the National Socialist ideology of Germany. From June 1935 onwards, men aged between 18 and 25 had to serve 6 months of service prior to their compulsory military service.
