Members of the German Reichsarbeitsdienst (Reich Labor Service) hold a mass rally attended by Adolf Hitler during 6th Nazi part...
As trumpets are heard playing, a Flag, displaying spade and wheat, of the German Labor Service (Reichsarbeitsdienst) known as the RAD, flutters in breeze. (This is a German great depression era agency to help relieve unemployment.) Next, the camera focuses on brass symbols of the RAD, with Swastikas on the spades. Two trumpeters are silhouetted. Adolf Hitler steps to an outdoor podium. Friedrich Heinrich Karl Syrup, head of the RAD, steps up (to cheers from RAD members), salutes Hitler and presents some 50 thousand members of the RAD. Camera shows the huge number of RAD members, assembled in formations, carrying spades, in the Zeppelin Field meadow of the Nazi Party grounds in Nuremberg. Hitler salutes and "Heils" them and they respond "Heil mein Führer." At a command from Syrup, the RAD shoulder their spades like rifles. On command, they move them to order arms position. Next, a line of drummer's arms and hands are seen as they strike a cadence in unison. RAD members, resting their spades on the ground, recite a pledge in unison. Closeup of one RAD member taking role call and of others responding with the homes of their units. They describe, in unison, the extent of their activities, from the North Sea, and speak of planting trees and all their other beneficial endeavors. Closeup of Hitler listening to them. Trumpeters are silhouetted as they sound their instruments and the RAD members sing an organizational song. Camera pans over the men as they sing. As Hitler and Syrup stand listening, one young man remarks aloud to the effect that although they aren't in combat, they are soldiers, neverthless. Next, a Rad member slowly lowers a flag, as the strains of "Ich hatt' einen Kameraden" are heard, in tribute to RAD members who lost their lives in the service. The various units of RAD lower their flags, as well. The individual members in ranks, salute as if armed. Spokesmen of affected units call out. Views of the stadium. flag bearers suddenly raise up Nazi flags. Closeup of Hitler looking ernest. View of the entire assembly moving spades in unison. Hitler speaks about the value of the RAD to him and the whole German people and delivers a talk inspiring the corps, while the camera shows many closeups of Hitler and his listeners.
