The German Historical Museum places its leisure activities within the Nazi effort to control working life, promote the regime’s image of national unity and raise productivity. This history explains the organization named in the compilation title. A KdF commission, concert or broadcast has not been established for these recordings. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dhm.de\/lemo\/kapitel\/ns-regime\/ns-organisationen\/kdf\"\u003eGerman Historical Museum: Kraft durch Freude\u003c\/a\u003e; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dhm.de\/lemo\/kapitel\/ns-regime\/ns-organisationen\/daf\"\u003eGerman Historical Museum: Deutsche Arbeitsfront\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeisure after the destruction of independent unions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 2 May 1933, Nazi organizations occupied trade-union offices, arrested leaders and seized assets. The Deutsche Arbeitsfront followed later that month. Workplace concerts and organized recreation developed in a system that had removed independent representation. Songs presenting labour as happiness must be read against that coercive background. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dhm.de\/lemo\/kapitel\/ns-regime\/etablierung-der-ns-herrschaft\/zerschlagung-der-gewerkschaften\"\u003eGerman Historical Museum: destruction of the trade unions\u003c\/a\u003e; \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dhm.de\/lemo\/kapitel\/ns-regime\/ns-organisationen\/daf\"\u003eGerman Historical Museum: Deutsche Arbeitsfront\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe limits of the promised community\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA US Embassy report of 4 December 1933 described strong pressure to join the Labour Front and the exclusion of Jewish people from membership.

The Austrian National Library documents Josef Scheu’s setting from 1868 within the Austrian workers’ movement, and the Wienbibliothek holds a manuscript score crediting Scheu and the poet Josef Zapf.
