Olympia Der Arbeit (Work Olympics) A book presented to successful competitors in the annual Reichsberufswettkampf, a vocational skills competition for young Germans held between 1934 and 1939. The competition was organised by the state controlled German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront) in conjunction with the Hitler Youth. The author of the book is Artur Axmann, Reichjugendfuhrer of the Hitler Youth and who presided over the competition from 1936. As well as propaganda text extolling the virtues of skills training under National Socialism, it includes a large number of photographs. Some illustrate what was seen as the moral decay of German youth post World War One, while others show positive images of skills, including metal work, baking, engineering, baking and even hairdressing. A label inside the cover shows this copy was present to Walter Mayer of Stuttgart "fur gute Leiftung" (for good learning) in 1937. Also include is a four page pamphlet that includes other recommended political texts and attributed to Günter Kaufman, another Hitler Youth official who was also the author of an authorised biography of Baldur Von Shirach, the former head of the Hitler Youth before Axman and who, as governor of Vienna, was one of the organisers of the first European Youth Association in 1942, whose delegates included Jose Antonio Elola-Osala, head of the Spanish Youth Front and, in the post war era, responsible for the national and later the first international vocational skills competitions held in Madrid. -
