They were among the most powerful men in Germany from 1933 to 1945 and answered to only one man...Adolf Hitler. Remarkably, even in Germany, no comprehensive biographical study of the NSDAP’s regional leaders, the Gauleiter, has ever been published. Drawing on a wealth of documents, many from original personnel files in the Bundesarchiv in Berlin, the authors present highly detailed and fascinating biographies of these men who governed Germany on Hitler’s behalf. The text is complemented by numerous photos, many unpublished, plus examples of autographs. In addition to the biographies, a lengthy section provides information on all of the 43 Gaue (regions) of Nazi Germany. Military history author Richard Hargreaves writes of the manuscript...”the most comprehensive overview I’ve seen in any language.”

The in-depth research of Third Reich political and semi-political headgear continues. Thousands of foreigners served in the wartime transportation formations of “Speer” and “Todt.” This volume has a special chapter dedicated to these units. Initially starting as “NSKK-Transportbrigade Speer” and “Todt,” they were combined to become “NSKK-Transportgruppe Todt,” which later became “Transportkorps Speer.” Volume 2 covered the “Deutscher Luftsport-Verband” and this volume deals with its sucessor, the NSFK. Also detailed are the early labor organizations known as the “Freiwilliger Arbeitsdienst” which would evolve into the “Reichsarbeitsdienst.” The RAD chapter is loaded with new facts and has a 60-page study of the traditions cap badges explaining their design and wear. The final chapter is on the “Arbeitseinsatzverwaltung” (Labor Mobilization Administration). The evolution of headgear and insignia for all of the above is meticulously covered plus hundreds of rare photos of them in wear.
