Gauleiter

A Gauleiter was either the chief of a regional branch of NSDAP (better known under the name of “Nazi party”), or the chief of a Gau , or or the chief of a Reichsgau . The German word Leiter means chief, whereas “Gau” is translated as well as possible into French by " région" or " pays" (in the primitive direction of " pagus").

This title is forged in 1925 after the reorganization of the Nazi party following the putsch missed of the brewery. In 1928, this title becomes a row in the paramilitary force Nazi. With the years, it will be the higher second titrates, just after that of Reichsleiter . The emblem consists of two sheets of Chêne related to a red fabric. The badge was fixed on a coll.

Up to 1938, the title of Gauleiter junior existed, Stellvertretender-Gauleiter (which one can translate word-with-word by “deputy Gauleiter”). Its emblem consisted of only one sheet of oak. This station will be abolished at the beginning of the Second world war.

In theory, Gauleiter coordinated the regional events of the Nazi party and was useful as an adviser of the local government. In practice, he was the only chief of the county for which he had the responsibility. The local government was generally its marionette.
