GERMAN WWII WORKERS FRONT PORCELAIN CANTEEN PLATE - ORIGINAL
Deutsche Arbeitsfront (German workers' front) blue rimmed porcelain canteen plate. With the motto marked on plate: "Modell des Amtes - Schoenheit der Arbeit" (Model of the ministry, "The beauty of labour"), along with the manufacturer oval stamp: "Bauscher Weiden" on the underside.
Modell des Amtes 'Schönheit der Arbeit' (dubbed M.d.A.S.d.A) is a pre-war mark used in Nazi Germany. Correctly translated in context it means model approved by the office for pleasant work; the mark was a seal of approval presented by an organization which officially was dedicated to increase ergonomics and industrial safety. The office itself was a branch of the Kraft durch Freude (K.d.F.) organization which in turn was part of the Deutschen Arbeitsfront (D.A.F.) under direct control of Reichorganisationsleiter Robert Ley.
