Reichsarbeitsdienst weibliche Jugend (RADwJ) Uniformierung

  • Diensttracht Maidenführerin
  • Arbeitstracht Arbeitsmaid
  • Diensttracht Arbeitsmaid

Der Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) war eine Organisation im nationalsozialistischen Deutschen Reich. Seit 1935 war der halbjährige Arbeitsdienst für männliche Jugendliche zwischen 18 und 25 Jahren obligatorisch, für weibliche freiwillig. Wenige Tage nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs am 1. September 1939 wurde die Arbeitsdienstpflicht auch für weibliche Jugendliche eingeführt, die als "Arbeitsmaiden" karitative Aufgaben übernahmen, Mütter im Haushalt entlasteten oder zu Einsätzen in der Landwirtschaft herangezogen wurden. Männliche Arbeitsgruppen unterstützten im Krieg zumeist als Bau- und Instandsetzungstrupps die Wehrmacht und standen an Flugabwehrgeschützen.

Eine einheitliche paramilitärische Uniform wurde Anfang 1934 eingeführt. Als Farbe wurde Erdbraun für Männer und Frauen gewählt. Zur Uniform der männlichen Angehörigen des Reichsarbeitsdienstes gehörte eine Hakenkreuzarmbinde, die am linken oberen Ärmel unter dem Spaten mit der Dienststellenbezeichnung getragen wurde.


English: Colour plate showing uniforms of the Reich Labour Service (Reichsarbeitsdienst; RAD), a major organisation established in Nazi Germany as an agency to help mitigate the effects of unemployment on the German economy, militarise the workforce and indoctrinate it with Nazi ideology.

The official state labour service was divided into separate sections for men and women. From 1935 onward, men aged between 18 and 25 may have served six months before their military service. In April of 1936 the female labor service was dissociated with the NS Frauenschaft, and was given the official designation RADwJ, Reichsarbeitsdienst der weiblichen Jugend ("National-labor-service for female Youth"). The RADwJ was originally a voluntary organization, in spite of regulations of June, 1935, that dictated a six month mandatory service period. Actual conscription of RADwJ personnel began in August of 1936, but it wasn’t until September of 1939 that the mandatory six months service was enforced. During World War II the RAD for young men (Reichsarbeitsdienst Männer/männliche Jugend, RAD/M.) developed to an auxiliary formation which provided support for the Wehrmacht armed forces.

A paramilitary RAD uniform were implemented in 1934. The women’s symbol also had sheaths, but with a swastika instead of a spade head and a swastika; the RADwJ emblem consisted of a swastika between two ears of barley in a chevron shape.

National Labour Service - Female Youth Section (RADwJ)

  • Women's leader's service uniform. The service uniforms as worn by the members of the RADwJ were in the same earth brown colour with the same chocolate brown collar as were used by the RAD for men.
    • A circular RADwJ badge decorated with the sheaths and swastika emblem, worn at the throat as a brooch on the blouse, indicates the rank of Maidenführerin (equivalent to RAD Feldmeister). Prior to its separation from the NS Frauenschaft in 1936, a series of rank brooches had been introduced and were worn until August of 1937, when a new series of rank brooches were introduced. The second pattern (1937) rank brooches were utilized until a third and final pattern was introduced in October of 1939.
  • Work clothing for Arbeitsmaid (equivalent to RAD Arbeitsmann)
  • Service uniform for Arbeitsmaid
