DVW (Deutsches Volksbildungswerk)

German National Education.

The training office of the NSDAP, and the organization of recreational facilities, which had been annexed by joy, to which, after 1933, all the German people's and adult education centers were combined; The task was the mediation of national socialist culture and ideology, professional and cultural education as well as physical fitness. For this purpose, the German People's Educational Society offered courses and working groups, organized lectures and organized festivals etc.

HAGO (NS Handwerks-,Handels-, und Gewerbeorganisation)

NS crafts, trade, and trade organization.

The National Socialist Combat Union for the commercial middle class was an organization founded at the end of 1932, at the beginning of 1933, to bind the middle class to the NSDAP. It was transferred to the National Socialist Trades, Trade and Trade Organizations (NS-HAGO) in 1933.

The Nazi leadership did not fit into the radical approach of the Kampfbund in its pseudolegonal concept. That is why Hermann Goering dismissed the leadership of the Confederation from the end of July 1933. The organization itself was transferred in August 1933 to the umbrella organization of the national socialist trade, trade and trade organizations. These were, in turn, integrated into the German Labor Front (DAF) in 1935.

The monthly magazine of that organization was Der Aufbau (The Building Up). Each issue measures approximately 8-1/4 x 11-1/2 inches and contains about 24 pages.

Below is shown a Quittungskarte (Receipt card) for Der Aufbau December 1st 1934.

After the connection of the Saar area to the German Reich, the German Front was established in the NSDAP-Saar.

OSTBAHN

The Ostbahn was the railway and railroad of the Generalgouvernement during the Second World War from 1939 to 1945.

Frequently the Ostbahn is considered an integral part of the German Reichsbahn. In fact, there were also several attempts to connect the Ostbahn to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Despite all cooperation with the German Reichsbahn the Ostbahn remained always independent.

As a beneficial society the BDR saw to the general welfare of its members, their families, retired German railways officials and their families. It administered a variety of group insurance plans and social welfare programs. It owned rest camps, vacation and resort lodgings, recreational venues and retirement homes for its members.

DRK

Deutsches Rote Kreuz

I the years after the Nazi takeover, as well as adopting Nazi salutes and symbols, the DRK introduced Nazi ideology into their education. Rescue teams were trained in military conduct, basic concepts of National Socialism, genetics, racial hygiene and demographic policy. More senior staff – doctors, nurses and managers were educated in demographic policy, racial history, racial hygiene, the biology of inheritance and the foundations of genetics. As a preparation for war, the DRK focused on training people to deal with air raids and gas attacks and organised joint exercises with the police and the fire brigades.

The National Socialist League for Body Exercises was the umbrella organization of sport in Germany during the period of National Socialism from 1938 onwards.

After the takeover of the NSDAP in 1933, not only parties and trade unions were dissolved and banned but also all sports associations with oppositional political (eg social-democratic, communist or ecclesiastical) orientation. In particular, this affected the sports associations and federations in the first half of 1933, provided they did not allow themselves to be forbidden by a self-imposed ban. The national conservative and bourgeois associations continued nominally until the following year, until they were integrated into the unity organization of the Reichsbundes for body exercises.

Sports club Arminia

After the takeover of Adolf Hitler, Arminia fell sportingly into the shadow of the local rival Hannover 96. Although both clubs were not opposed to the new regime, the 96s were still benefiting from close personal contacts with the party officials. The "blue" athletes belonged to the founding members of the newly established Province Niedersachsen, where the team missed the championship in the first season only because of the poorer goal ratio against Werder Bremen. Three years later Arminia again won the Vizemeisterschaft.

When local rival 96 won the German championship in 1938, the armies were on the downhill. In the season 1938/39, the "bishops holders" had to retire from the MSV Lüneburg because of the poorer goal, before a decision at the Green Table provided for the class. No referee had appeared on the match between Arminia and ASV Blumenthal. The clubs played a friendly match, which Blumenthal won 4-0. Suddenly the game was to be judged with this result, whereas the Hanoverians protested. A repeat game was set against which the Blumenthals protested. Finally the Reichsfachamt decided that the game was not repeated and that Arminia did not descend. Until the end of the Second World War, Arminia did not go beyond midfield positions. One of the few highlights of this time was an 11: 1 derby race over Hannover 96 in the season 1943/44.

Province Niedersachsen.

From 1933, ten Lower Saxony players played to participate in the German championship in which the Gauligameister (Province Champignon) was allowed to participate. One year later, the championship was set up by a team, as Viktoria Wilhelmsburg from the Gauliga Nordmark (Province Nordmark) was integrated into the Gauliga (Province league) in Lower Saxony. The number of teams remained a further year at eleven clubs, as the VfB Peinenach irregularities in the first season of the league 1933/34, in which the club had to dismount, was taken back into the league.

After 1937 several neighboring towns of Hamburg, including Harburg-Wilhelmsburg, were integrated into the city, the league field of the league experienced a strong intermixing, as the teams from these places from then on again appeared in the Gauliga Nordmark (Province Nordmark). Up to 1939, ten teams played for the championship. Subsequently, the league was divided into two squadrons, each with six clubs, with the team winners playing the champions in return. Two years later, the best three teams of the respective relay teams took part in a final round of the German championship.

In 1942, the sports area of Lower Saxony was disbanded, the league finally split and first divided into the Gauliga (Province league) Südhannover-Braunschweig and Weser-Ems, to which the Gauliga (Province league) Osthannover joined a year later.

G.) in the sense of the national socialist ideology. During this time, the number of examinations accepted rose sharply. In 1942, the number of drowning droids had declined to a third compared to 1913, and DLRG had trained nearly one million rescue swimmers.
