Weimar and Nazi Germany (1918-1939): The Beauty of Labour

Beauty of Labour was a strand of the Strength Through Joy programme with the mission to improve working facilities for ordinary Germans. They wanted employers to improve their facilities for workers and would give employers help with the cost of making the changes.

Despite this help, employers used their employees to improve the facilities, without pay, and often after they had finished for the day. Employers would look to improve the conditions in toilets, canteens, and showers for their employers. The Nazis wanted the conditions for the German worker to be of excellent quality.
