(Ärztlichtaschen)BACKGROUND: The DRK, Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross), a voluntary civil assistance organization, originally instituted in 1864, was officially acknowledged by the Geneva Convention in 1929. In December 1937 it gained status as a legally recognized organization by the NSDAP. As with other essential services in Third Reich Germany it came under control of the NSDAP in late 1938 under the auspices of the Ministry of the Interior’s Social Welfare Organization.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A red brown leather medical pouch, approximately 18cm x 21cm x 6cm. Two vertical leather tabs reinforced stitched around metal "D" rings, are to the upper part of its reverse. Its fold-over flap, which is an extension of the entire back panel, has two leather tabs that mate with a corresponding stud. When opened, the pouch opens at a ninety degree angle, exposing its contents. Collapsing, triangular leather flaps, reinforced stitched to the front and back panels construct a folding hinge. Original contents are complete as photographed. Nice!
