Here is your chance to pick up a wonderful tinnie related to the DAF or KdF. It took place in Berlin. I like pieces like this because not only are they extremely affordable but each one is it’s own little work of art in a sense. The Kraft durch Freude was a state-operated leisure organization in Nazi Germany. It was a part of the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, the national German labour organization at that time. Set up as a tool to promote the advantages of National Socialism to the people, it had become the world’s largest tourism operator by the 1930s. KdF was supposed to bridge the class divide by making middle-class leisure activities available to the masses. It also sought to bolster the German tourist industry, something it did successfully up until the outbreak of World War II. By 1934, over two million Germans had participated in a KdF trip; by 1939 the reported numbers lay around 25 million people. With the outbreak of war in 1939, the organization almost ceased to exist and operated as support for soldiers behind front lines.
