German Workers Regimented Like Soldiers By Nazis
Two million men stood on Templehofer field last May day and stiff-armed the Hitler salute in a display of labor loyalty to the regime. A Berlin labor court later ruled absence from the May day celebration legal grounds for dismissal of several workers. The May day law for national labor makes the boss the leader with total authority while a confidential workers council acts to counsel, appointed by the boss and Nazi union heads, and members may be discharged only if the factory closes. This reflects the infantry drill regulations of the Nazi labor army and contrasts with democratic labor conditions.
