WWII Nazi German Third Reich NSDAP Deutsche Arbeitsfront DAF Receipt – Swastika Eagle Stamp

Original Third Reich-era German Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF – German Labour Front) receipt document with an especially bold official Deutsche Arbeitsfront eagle and swastika ink stamp.

The document is headed “QUITTUNG” (Receipt) and records a payment in Reichsmarks (RM). It is handwritten throughout with the payer/payment information, amount, date, and an official signature. The lower portion bears an excellent large purple circular organizational stamp featuring the DAF cogwheel-style eagle/swastika emblem in the center.

The stamp is marked “Deutsche Arbeitsfront” and appears to reference an Ortsgruppe (local group) and N.S.G. “Kraft durch Freude”, making this an interesting piece connected with the administrative structure of the German Labour Front and its associated Kraft durch Freude (KdF / Strength Through Joy) organization.

The DAF was established in 1933 following the dissolution of Germany’s independent trade unions and became one of the largest organizations in Third Reich Germany. Its associated Kraft durch Freude program organized subsidized leisure activities, cultural events, excursions, holidays, sports, and other recreational programs for German workers. Original financial documents such as this illustrate the everyday administrative and monetary operations behind these enormous organizations.

The printed German wording “richtig erhalten zu haben, bescheinigt hiermit” translates approximately as “hereby certifies having duly received [the amount].”

A particularly attractive feature is the combination of the large official DAF/KdF organizational stamp, period handwriting, Reichsmark notation, signature, and punched filing holes, all giving the piece excellent historical character.

Condition is very good for its age with expected light toning, handling and minor age wear. The writing and organizational stamp remain clearly visible. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition, markings, handwriting, and details.

A nice 100% period historical document for a collection focused on the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF, Kraft durch Freude, NSDAP-era organizations, German home-front history, or original Third Reich paperwork and ephemera.
