This book explores the activities of the Nazi regime's vast leisure
programme. Shortly after coming to power in Germany, it began a
large-scale undertaking to bring happiness and a good life to
so-called 'Aryan' Germans, carried out by the Nazi leisure
organization Kraft durch Freude. Julia Timpe traces Kraft durch
Freude's practices and propaganda from 1933 through the Second
World War, and analyses Nazi-organized sports classes,
entertainment events, and beautification campaigns for industrial
sites and the countryside, as well as Kraft durch Freude's
activities in entertaining German soldiers and concentration camp
guards. Contributing to newer scholarship which focuses on the
integratory force of the Nazi promise of a unified 'racial
community' of all 'Aryan' Germans, this book highlights that Kraft
durch Freude's 'everyday production of joy' was central to Nazism,
closely connected to the destructive side of the Third Reich, and
ultimately a major reason for Nazism's success among the German
population.
