GERMAN WW2 NSDAP OBERABSCHNITTSLEITER COLLAR TABS

Made by hand in golden bullion on red velvet.

Oberabschnittsleiter existed between 1939 and 1945, replacing the older rank of Ortsgruppenleiter. It was a middle level administrative rank.

The NSDAP was by nature a paramilitary organisation. The original purpose of these ranks was to provide leadership and organisation during election. After 1933, these ranks became a political chain of command, harmonising Nazi party leadership with local, regional and national government.
