By the fall of 1941 Hitler already recognized that to get the most out of his combat troops in the Soviet Union or on the East Front it would be necessary to send units of Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) soldiers to Russia to assist in things like the movement of equipment, the repair and rebuilding of roads, the evacuation of wounded, the rounding up and imprisonment of Soviet POWs, construction of bridges and defensive fortifications, assisting the Luftwaffe in the loading of bombs, construction power and communication lines, repairing the railroads, etc., etc.

This excellent photo book, Arbeitsmänner zwischen Bug und Wolga - Erlebnisberichte und Bilder vom Einsatz des jüngsten Jahrganges an der Ostfront (RAD Men between the Bug and the Volga - Experiences and Pictures of our Youngest Generation on the East Front), consists of a fine text about what Germans found when they arrived in the "Soviet Paradise" and what the RAD battalions working in concert with the Wehrmacht were able to do about it. The men suffered greatly from insects, climate, and the unimaginable infrastructure in the medieval parts of the worker's paradise. They carried weapons and lived just like combat troops and they were awarded medals for their bravery. This is the only book we know of that tells their story in anything like an appropriate way.

The material in this heavily illustrated 7-5/8 x 10-1/2 inch, 104 page soft cover book was assembled by Hans Looks and Hans Fischer. It was published by the Nazi Party Publishing House, Zentralverlag der NSDAP Franz Eher Nachfolger GmbH in Berlin in 1942 by order of the Chef des Presse- und Propagandaamts beim Reichsarbeitsführer.

In good used condition with some [old] water stains to some of the pages. This damage happened long ago and the book does NOT have a nasty odor.
