Hopefully, the RAD won't be reinvented again:

RAD Camp 5/257, "Gottfried Keller" Detachment, was located in the Wisper Valley between Lorch and Bad Schwalbach.

The Reich Labor Service (RAD) was an organization in the Nazi German Reich. The law for the Reich Labor Service, enacted on June 26, 1935, stated: "All young Germans of both sexes are obligated to serve their people in the Reich Labor Service. The Führer and Reich Chancellor determines the number of conscripts to be called up annually and sets the length of service. Initially, young men were called up for labor service for six months (before their military service). From the beginning of the Second World War, the Reich Labor Service was extended to include young women.
