Originally published in 2005, Soldiers of Labor is a systematic
comparison between the labor policies of the Nazi dictatorship and
New Deal America. The main subject of the book is the Nazi Labor
Service (Reichsarbeitsdienst), a public work scheme that provided
work and education for young men. Here, the organizational setup,
the educational dimension, and its practical work are extensively
examined. Originally, the institution was an instrument in the
fight against unemployment at the end of the Weimar Republic. After
1933, it became a Nazi propaganda tool that ultimately became
involved in the Nazi's war of extermination. This study examines
the similarities and differences, the mutual perceptions, and
transfers between the Nazi Labor Service and its New Deal
equivalent, the Civilian Conservation Corps. Patel uncovers
stunning similarities between the two organizations, as well as
President Roosevelt's irritating personal interest in the Nazi
equivalent of his pet agency, the CCC.
