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.  G

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?

Roughly translated, " Arbeit fur dein Volk-Adelt sich Selbst- Deutscher Frauenarbeitsdienst" Work for your people-Ennoble yourself-Womens Labor Service as seen in late 33' of early 34'.

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version or they were withdrawn and only later versions were allowed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?

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.
