Deutsche Arbeitsfront banner (German Labor Front / DAF) acquired by Major Milton Evans Dowse, United States Army, after his liberation from Oflag 64, a German prisoner-of-war camp in Szubin, Poland, in January 1945. The flag has a swastika encircled by a gear-wheel, and a patch identifying it as having been used in Rosmin (present-day Roscimin, Poland). DAF was the only authorized trade union in Germany. The Nazi regime abolished all other trade unions in 1933 in order to ensure political control over industry.
