N016495 REICHSLEITUNG LEVEL “Ober Einsatzleiter” COLLAR TABS. (Kragenspiegel)

BACKGROUND: The NSDAP, National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), was originally founded in Munich as the DAP, Deutsche Arbeiter Partei, (German Worker’s Party), on January 5TH 1919. When Adolf Hitler joined the DAP in the autumn of 1919 he was to reform what was basically a debating society into an active political party. Appointed as the first chairman of the party on July 29TH 1921 Hitler was to restructure it along para military lines in a hierarchy of four levels of government consisting of the Reichsleitung, (National Level), the Gauleitung, (Provincial/State Level), the Kreisleitung, (District Level), and the Ortsgruppenleitung, (Local Level). The collar tabs for NSDAP Political Leaders were first introduced in 1933 and underwent modifications in 1934 and 1936 until a final pattern was introduced in 1939 and utilized for the duration of the war. The Political Leader’s collar tabs were worn in matching pairs and indicated the individual’s level of government and rank/position. This example is for a Bereichsleiter, (Zone Leader), at the Reichsleitung, (National Level), of the NSDAP.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: NSDAP Reichsleitung (National level – German nation): Collar tabs denote a rank of Ober Einsatzleiter (Senior Action Leader). The 1939 pattern tabs are unworn and near mint. Reverse is complete with original paper RZM tag.
