RAD Arbeitsmann's Service Tunic

RAD Arbeitsmann's Service Tunic (Dienstbluse). The basis of the RAD ('Reichsarbeitsdienst') dates back at least to 1929. In July of 1935 RAD service became compulsory, with all German citizens between 19 and 25 years of age required to enlist for a six month term. Tunic made from re-issued British Battledress. On the left sleeve is a 'Dienststellenabzeichen' originally attached. On the breastpocket is a commemorative enemal stickpin. Rare and 100% original tunic!
