NSV (National Socialist People’s Welfare/Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt) & DAF (German Labor Front/Deutsche Arbeitsfront) Werkfrauengruppe Female Laborer’s Group cuff title.

The Werkfrauengruppen were formed in 1936 by the Frauenamt der DAF [Women’s Office of the German Labor Front]. These were groups of female DAF activists in individual businesses and as such something like the female equivalent to the male Werkscharen. The focus of their work was to be in the field of cultural and social activities (mostly after-work) for their respective company’s employees, the aim being to further a sense of community and comradeship within the workforce. They were also in engaged in more general (non-factory-specific) activities like sending gift parcels to soldiers at the front line etc. In a speech at the 1937 Reichsparteitag, Reichsfrauenführerin Gertrud Scholz-Klink elaborated:    …last year, we have united 22,000 young female laborers over 21 years of age in the Werkfrauengruppen. In festive days for the company, they are to make the hours of community more beautiful, in hard days, they are to be a support and pillar for the company – however, at all times, they are to keep building the bridges to all other women of the nation and to the people’s binding communal duties.”

The Werkfrauengruppen were not uniformed in the sense of the term, although the wearing of a more or less identical clothing [Gleichtracht] within a business was encouraged. However, this was to be of a clearly civilian nature [“rein zivilen Charakter”], so it would be a bit odd to adorn that with a cufftitle. (Perhaps it was intended for a uniform that was never implemented or worn by personnel authorized to wear a political uniform – such as that of the NS-Frauenschaft – if they were also involved in the Werkfrauengruppen)

Unit Cuff Titles – These generally referred to the name of a division, although some regiments also had distinctive titles.
Branch of Service Cuff Titles – These identified those who served in a specific branch of service like the military police and war correspondents. The cuff title of the Feldgendarmerie (Military Police) wore a distinctive cuff title, often in conjunction with a unit cuff title, if entitled.
Campaign Cuff Titles – Participation in some campaigns, such as the Kurland, Crete or North African campaigns, was recognized by the award of a special commemorative cuff title.
