...there were only 1000 members of the German Association for Free Body Culture; today there are some 50,000, as well as several hundred thousand freelance cultists who loll in the buff on the 80 officially sanctioned nudist beaches specially set aside for them by the West German government. Of the organized German nudists, most are laborers, tradesmen and white-collar workers. But not all.
