Workbooks were ubiquitous documents in the German Reich from the mid-1930s onwards. All German workers were required to submit one to their workplace. No one was allowed to be employed without one. Civilian forced laborers also received a workbook. Initially, this was the same as the one for Germans, but from May 1943 onwards, a separate "workbook for foreigners" (Arbeitsbuch Für Ausländer) was introduced. Workbooks and the associated workbook cards served to administer and coordinate the so-called "labor deployment" (Arbeitseinsatz), the term used by the Nazis to describe state intervention in the labor market. Processing and shipping within the Continental US $30. All FedEx packages are sent with Direct Signature Required and insured at full replacement value for a fee of 1.5% of the purchase price, unless buyer accepts complete liability in writing.
