Here is your chance to pick up a wonderful rare badge worn by Wehrwirtschaftsführer. This badge was awarded to factory owners and officials who were considered important to the industry and war efforts. Impressive design with factory smokestacks and eagle. Produced in cupal with great finish, and an extremely rare badge for your collection. The German Labour Front ( Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF) was the National Socialist labour organization which replaced the  various independent trade unions in Germany after Adolf Hitler’s rise to  power. Theoretically, DAF existed to act as a medium through which  workers and owners could mutually represent their interests. Wages were  set by the 12 DAF trustees. The employees were given relatively high set  wages and security of employment, and dismissal was increasingly made  difficult. Social security and leisure programmes were started,  canteens, breaks, and regular working times were established, and German  workers were generally satisfied by what the DAF gave them in repayment  for their absolute loyalty. Employment contracts created under the  Weimar Republic were abolished and renewed under new circumstances in  the DAF. Employers could demand more of their workers, while at the same  time workers were given increased security of work and increasingly  enrolled into social security programmes for workers. The organisation,  by its own definition, combated capitalism and liberalism, but also  revolution against the factory owners and the National Socialist state.  The DAF, however, did openly prefer to have large companies nationalised  by the German state, instead of privately owned companies.   Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
