Gwar Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Rich, yes and no.. The "Arbeitsdienst fur die wiebliche Jugend" or RADwJ was the female version of the" Reichsarbeitsdienst" RAD, and not unlike the RAD that mostly were conscripted into the military , the RADwJ women after their service had to perform a six month compulsory duty called the "Kriesghilfdienst" or KHD that was established in 1941 in various fields that were directly or indirectly vital for the war effort, which included public transportation, postal and communications duties, nursing, teaching etc;. During this work , they did not wear the RADwJ uniform but civilian clothing or that of the work they were doing with only the KHD badge as an identifying factor.

val Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 8 minutes ago, Gwar said: Val, what more needs to be said ? I mean those early versions, bronze, with sütterlin text. How long they were in use and when new version appears? Did they allow the old version after that? Can you show that early version more closely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

val Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thanks @Gwar, i must say it's most beautiful from all of this set. Was there any regulations - did they allow later to wear this early version or they were withdrawn and only later versions were allowed to wear?

Gwar Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Val, I think we should start a new thread on every non related topic, it could be confusing to others and information could be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
