Beauty of Labour

Beauty of Labour

The Beauty of Labour (Schönheit der Arbeit) was a propaganda organisation of the Nazi government from the period 1934 to its eventual decline in 1945. Initially a propaganda machine, the SdA worked bilaterally with its counter-part organisation Strength through Joy (KdF) to achieve an overall appeasement of the general population.

Campaigns such as the "Fight against Noise" and "Good ventilation in the workplace" gave the Hitler-led government the ability to create practical workplace benefits while simultaneously installing a sense of community and greater cordiality between the totalitarian dictatorship and the Germanic population.
