[edit] Deutschen Arbeitsfront
Source for the correct spelling of Deutschen Arbeitsfront: Hitler's last testament In German: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/masa/private/history/ww2/text/politisches.html -- Philip Baird Shearer 15:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
And what exactly makes you think Hitler had time to proofread his work? I don't know German - perhaps it's a contextual thing.
It's genitive, think "Leiter der Deutschen Arbeitsfront" = "German Labour Front's Leader". There are at least four cases in the German language, so be careful to use words from German texts out of context. A very good source for at least the major people and things from back then is the LeMO (Lebendiges virtuelles Museum Online) at http://www.dhm.de/lemo/home.html. See http://www.dhm.de/lemo/html/nazi/organisationen/daf/ there. --Yooden
[edit] Numbers
It says "Membership required a fee within the range of 15 pfennig to 3 reichsmark ... In 1934, the total intake was 300,000,000 reichsmark". Even today if every German pays 3 reichsmark, that would be a total of 247,314,000 reichsmark. --Chochopk 09:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
