For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

RAD-Lager ⛏️🪚🛠️🪓
The Reich Labour Service Camps(Reichsarbeitsdienstlager or RAD-lager) were the bases of the Reich Labour Service from 1935 to 1945.
With the introduction of the Reich Labour Service in June 1935, around 2000 camps were created throughout the German Reich, including areas of today's Poland, Austria and in the German-speaking parts of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, where the Reich Labour Service had to be provided. These initially consisted partly of rented youth hostels, homes and schools, but later the RAD-camps were built more close to industry and agriculture facilities.
A "normal camp" was occupied with 54 people. In 30s German makers of composition soldiers produced figures representing RAD units. Elastolin, Lineol and Kienel RAD figures are demonstrated here.Some of them are quite rare.
