ZFC0974 Germany // 1934-1945 / Physical Training League

Germany, 3rd Reich, Deutscher Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (DRL) 1934 to 1938, Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (NSRL) 1938 to 1945, or "National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise" the Reichs Sports Office, was the umbrella organization for all sports activities in Nazi Germany. At the height of their power they organized the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where they merged sport with Nazi Aryan propaganda. After the war began there were fewer and fewer athletic competitions as athletes were called to military service, and the power of the Reichs Sports Office diminished.

Very Large Flag.
