Bezirksleiter
''Bezirksleiter'' (District Leader) was a Nazi Party title which was used in the early years of the Party's existence, beginning around 1926. History The position of ''Bezirksleiter'' was originally established around 1926 as the next higher organizational official overseeing several local branches (''Ortsgruppen'') of the Party. As such, the ''Bezirksleiter'' served as the intermediary between the local Party heads (''Ortsgruppenleiter'') and the head of the Gau organization (''Gauleiter''). The number of ''Bezirkleiters'' in each Gau, if any, depended on the size of the Gau, and their jurisdictions were not necessarily coterminous with existing governmental units. At a January 1929 Party Conference held in Weimar, Gregor Strasser, the ''Reichsorganisationsleiter'', authorized the ''Gauleiters'' to subdivide their Gaue into districts if the organizational strength of the Gau justified this change. The subdivisions were based on the '' Kreis'', the standard administrative unit e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reichstag (Nazi Germany)
The Reichstag ("Diet of the Realm"), officially the Greater German Reichstag (''Großdeutscher Reichstag'') after 1938, was the parliament of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. In effect it essentially served as a rubber stamp parliament. Following the Nazi seizure of power and the enactment of the Enabling Act of 1933, it was meant only as a rubber stamp for the actions of Adolf Hitler's dictatorship — always by unanimous consent — and to listen to Hitler's speeches. In this purely ceremonial role, the Reichstag convened only 20 times, the last on 26 April 1942. The President of the Reichstag (german: Reichstagspräsident) throughout this period was Hermann Göring. During this period, the Reichstag was sometimes derisively referred to by the German public as the "''teuerste Gesangsverein Deutschlands''" (the most expensive singing club in Germany) due to frequent singing of the national anthem during sessions. To avoid holding scheduled elections during World War II, in 1943 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
