Jahrbuch des Reichsarbeitsdienstes 1936, Oberarbeitsführer Hermann Müller-Brandenburg
Jahrbuch des Reichsarbeitsdienstes 1936 is a heavily illustrated Nazi book about the RAD or German National Labor Service published by Volk und Reich Verlag in Berlin in 1936. The material was assembled by Oberarbeitsführer Hermann Müller-Brandenburg (Leader of the RAD Department of Foreign Affairs and Publicity) and the chapters were written by Arbeitsführer from many different parts of Nazi Germany.
Reichsarbeitsführer Konstantin Hierl
Chapters cover subjects like the development of the RAD, the leadership, structure, organization and administration of the RAD, health services that are part of the Nazi Labor Service, education and physical education in the RAD, technical education in RAD leadership schools, RAD experiences, RAD construction projects in various parts of Germany, etc.

There are several technical drawings and charts and in the back is a large two-sided fold-out map. One side shows RAD building projects all over Germany and the reverse side shows the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein.
The photos are by Presse-Illustrationen Hoffmann, Bilderdienst Bittner, Hamburger Luftbild (released by the RLM), Photo Carolus Berlin, and other sources.

This 7-1/2 x 8-5/8 inch linen hardcover example of Jahrbuch des Reichsarbeitsdienstes 1936 has 134 pages. The RAD logo and title of the book are embossed on the front cover.
The 87 year old book is in very nice used condition and has a bookplate from the library of Black Mountain College (in North Carolina, USA) inside the front cover.

The spine shows moderate wear along the back cover, but the binding is tight and the pages are in very good condition. No odor.

Since the covers of these RAD yearbooks look very similar some people assume the content is the same. It is not, so check your Jahrbuch des Reichsarbeitsdienstes inventory to see if you own this 1936 edition!
In the foreword the publisher explains that the goal of this book is to inform the German people about the reason for and mission of the RAD, and its significance to life in Nazi Germany. It mentions that this is the first Jahrbuch about the Reichsarbeitsdienst and the plan was to publish an RAD Yearbook every year going forward, each year focussing on different parts of the RAD. (See links at the bottom of this USMBOOKS web page for other editions.)

Jahrbuch des Reichsarbeitsdienstes 1936 starts with a quote by Reichsarbeitsführer Konstantin Hierl from a speech he gave at the Reichsparteitag der Ehre in Nürnberg in 1936. The foreword faces a full-page portrait of Adolf Hitler followed by a full-page portrait of Reichsarbeitsführer Hierl.
