Far Left Side: Dilbarack

S

Yes, after the Enabling Act was passed Hitler aboloshed all of the German trade unions and even confiscated their funds and used the money to fund the Strength through Joy programme. 

In May, 1933, Robert Ley was given the task of forming the Labour Front (DAF), the only state sanctioned union organization allowed in the Third Reich. Ley ordered the building of two new cruise-liners as part of the Strength through Joy programme that were used to take German workers on foreign holidays. 

The Strength through Joy programme also built sports facilities, paid for theatre visits and financially supported travelling cabaret groups. It also subsidized the development of the People's Car, the Volkswagen.

German worker paid for these benefits through compulsory deductions. The holidays and subsidized entertainment were of great propaganda value to the Nazi government.
