                    General Organization                    
 
 
 Strength through Joy is the workers' recreational 
organization of the German Labor Front, the
national union of employers and workers which, before 
the accession of Austria possessed about
20,000,000 members. All members, including persons 
belonging to a number of professional organizations 
affiliated with the labor Front (which thus
embraces every "Aryan" employed person in Germany),
may in theory benefit from Strength through Joy, although 
in practice the maximum privileges are reserved 
for persons earning no more than RM 300 (if
single) or RM 400 ( if married) per month.
 
 
 The organization of Strength through Joy is
based on that of the Labor Front, there being a
Reich bureau, 32 Gau bureaus, and innumerable, smaller 
local offices. In each factory one of the workers 
serves as the agent, or point of contact between
the rest of the workers and Strength through Joy activities. 
Strength through Joy has 38,000 paid officials 
and over a million other collaborators who
give their services free.
