Military Service Conductor
Military service conductors were members of the Reich Labor Service of Female Youth (RADwJ), who were compulsorily obliged to serve as conductors in many German cities during the Second World War .
The women and girls were assigned to military service due to the legal basis of the emergency ordinances of the German Reich . Their services were provided in RAD uniform , on the left lower sleeve of the jackets a RAD cuff band with rank and position was worn, in addition with a RADwJ brooch. Their area of responsibility not only included the common tasks such as ticket control and sales as well as locating and arresting dodger drivers, they also had medical and social responsibility for the passengers during an air raid . In this case, it was their job to get the passengers to the nearest air raid shelter as quickly as possible . To do this, they had to know the exact geographic location of each bunker along the route. People who were injured during an attack had to be given first aid; children traveling alone, elderly people and war wounded had to receive special care. Your commitment was honored in Berlin with the merit plaque of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe .
