(Subject: The Third Reich - General) German text. In 1935, under the auspices of the Third Reich's cultural and recreational organization "Kraft durch Freude" (Strength through Joy), Robert Ley enlisted architect" Clemens Klotz for an ambitious project. At Prora, a beach resort on the island of Rügen, a huge resort complex was built for the German Labour Front - DAF. Eight huge buildings were constructed extending over a length of 4.5 kilometres, fronting the long, flat, sandy beach. Although planned as a holiday resort for workers, they were never used as such. During the Cold War the resort was used by the National Peoples' Army of the GDR. Today the partially ruined complex is listed as a striking example of Nazi architecture.
