TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENT 2275-PS

THE GERMAN LABOR FRONT. NATURE-AIM-MEANS [Die deutsche Arbeitsfront. Wesen-Ziel-Wege] Issued by the Scientific Labor Institute of the German Labor Front. Published by the Publishing House of the German Labor Front, 1943

[Footnote, page 11].

More than nine-tenths of all working Germans are members of the German Labor Front. Shortly before the outbreak of war the German Labor Front had 23 million individual members in the then Reich territory. In addition there were corporate members [Korporative Mitglieder], the number of which can be estimated at 10 millions after eliminating all multiple memberships.

The members of such organizations are "corporatively" affiliated to the German Labor Front which have collectively joined the German Labor Front on the basis of special agreements. But the members of such organizations can nevertheless become individual members of the German Labor Front.

Among others the members of the following organizations are "corporative" members of the German Labor Front: Reich Chamber of Culture; Reich Food Estate; Reich League of Graduate Farmers; Organization of Trade Economy; Experts' Council on Public Health; Attorneys' League; Reich League of German Civil Servants; National Socialist Teachers' League; Reich Labor Service; Armed Forces; Nurses' Association. In other words, practically all important professional or economic organizations have led their members into the German Labor Front.
