20a DeR ReiChsarbEItSDiEnSt - SCHOLE OF THE NATION he youth of both sexes in the spirit of National Socialism to the people's community and to the right view of work, in particular to pay due regard to manual labour. Thus he serves the nation as a great social school of youth. The Reichsarbeitsdienst is at the same time a tool of the Reich government to carry out non-profit-making work tasks. The Reich-arbeitsverdienst of the men is built according to the principles and in the forms of a Soldat community. "True, obedience and camaraderie" is the basic law for the Reichs Arbeitsdienst. The fulfilment of this law forms the basis for its inner cohesion. Only in the spirit of this legislation can the Reichsarbeitsdienst solve its educational task. The working man should be the bearer of the National Socialist work conception, which considers the work as a moral duty and the joy in performance as the most valuable gain of the work.
