JUST BOUGHT A PHOTO ALBUM FROM AN HJ GUY IN SLOVENIA BUT NATURALIZED GERMAN WHO WENT INTO THE EASTERN VERSION OF THE DAF CALLED THE DAD THEN INTO THE ARMY. HE PASTED HIS DAD INSIG INTO THE ALBUM AND THIS IS RARE STUFF. CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE ALDER BUT A COUPLE OF THE GUYS IN PICS WEAR THE DEATHS HEAD. AS WE KNOW VERY LITTLE FROM THE EAST HAS SURVIVED SO TRULY THINK THIS ALBUM IS UNIQUE ENJOY SOME OF THE PICS AND PLEASE POST ANY INFO YOU MIGHT HAVE :canada1

Very interesting. I see online references to a Deutsche Arbeitsdienst (equivalent to to the RAD but outside Germany) in connection to Serbia, Banat, Bohmen and Mahren. There's also a connection to something called the "Dresdner Arbeitsdienst" from the early 1930s. I'm confused :h
 
Here two pages from volume 5 from "Headgear of Hitler's Germany", with three photos
from the DAD. See explanation for the DAD and where it was located.

The DAD has nothing to do with the DAF, but is a Saxonian labour-organization!

The eagle has nothing to do with the DAD collar-patches.
The collar-patches are about 1933/1934; the eagle is
from a later date and has, as said, nothing to do with the
DAD, as they did not wear such type of insignia!

I do not know who glued the eagle onto the page, but it
is obvious there was somethingelse positioned.
