Die Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF) war in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus der Einheitsverband der Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber mit Sitz in Berlin. Die DAF wurde am 10. Mai 1933 nach Zerschlagung der Freien Gewerkschaften gegründet. Sämtliche Berufsverbände der Angestellten und der Arbeiter wurden mit dem Gesetz zur Ordnung der nationalen Arbeit vom 20. Januar 1934 zusammengeführt. Im Oktober 1934 wurde die DAF offiziell der NSDAP angeschlossen. Sie war nach dem Führerprinzip bis hinab zum Blockwart organisiert. Ihr Reichsleiter Robert Ley versuchte mit einer Bürokratie von 44.000 hauptamtlichen und 1,3 Millionen ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeitern in nahezu alle Bereiche der nationalsozialistischen Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik einzudringen. Gegliedert in 18 Reichsbetriebsgemeinschaften (später 16 Fachämter) und 33 Gauwaltungen, bestand die DAF bis Mai 1945 mit zuletzt 22 Millionen Mitgliedern.


English: Colour plate showing service uniforms of the German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront; DAF), the labour organisation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) which replaced the various independent trade unions in Germany after Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933. The DAF consisted of the National Socialist Factory Organization (Nationalsozialistische Betriebszellenorganisation, NSBO) responsible for the political work and the guidance of the DAF, the National Socialist Trade and Industry Organization (Nationalsozialistische Handels- und Gewerbeorganisation, NSHAGO) representing salaried employees, the Food estate (Reichsnährstand, RNST) representing agriculture, the Reich Chamber of Culture (Reichskulturkammer, RKK), the National Socialist Association of Legal Professionals (Nationalsozialistischer Rechtswahrerbund, NSRB), the thirteen Trustee of Labour (Treuhänder der Arbeit) , the leaders of the twelve groups of the Reichsstand der Deutschen Industrie (RStDI) and the Gauleiters of the Nazi Party. The purpose of the DAF was to ensure trouble-free running of German industry and commerce.
  • Leader of a "Factory Brigade" (Werkscharführer) of the German Labour Front as a political leader
    • Service rank: Arbeitsleiter, labour leader (a local level rank within the NSDAP, rather than a position)
    • Service position: a Betriebsblockobmann, a political position of local Ortsgruppen level of the Nazi Party 1939–1945
In November 1933 dark blue uniforms and emblems were provided for all members of the Labour Front which had to be obtained at the expense of the members. Rank was indiccated by a series of arm chevrons; silver for lower rank and gold for senior positions (see NSDAP organizations Collar Tab and Shoulder Board Identification Guide at www.germandaggers.com). Four colours were adopted to indicate various State levels for the DAF Werkscharführer; yellow for DAF Oberst-Werkscharführer; red for DAF Gau-Werkscharführer, black for DAF Kreis-Werkscharführer and light blue for DAF Haupt-Werkscharführer and Werkscharführer. These four colours were used as piping to the shoulder straps and for the coloured lanyards worn on the uniform.
  • Holiday uniform (Festanzug)
