with the RZM tag goes the RZM license

[Hugo Rietzel]

I do not want to deprive you of this piece of history RZM.

It shows a Proof of Entitlement from before 1935 !

In my opinion, a very rare piece.

Hugo, great document. And as always one can learn much about
these documents. Correspondence gives us, the researchers, what
is needed to know and so we can "teach" others (collectors).
And often it gives information about how it developed, especially
when one finds also answers to the one or the other!!





Here shown a letter from the RZM, a design for a gorget (which was
not introduced), a letter from the OSAF and one from Hitler's
deputy! Sorry, for the German text (I do not have the time to give
a translation). This material was used for example in my book
about gorgets: "Ringkragen und Brustschilder im Dritten Reich",
published in German with just over 700 pages and with much information
and lots of photographs.
All material is credited to my friend Laurens Hessels from the Netherlands,
who found this material in a German archive and has more of this stuff! Hope
his planned book is released one day (about SA collar-patches).





In the last letter it was noted the police did not have a gorget. This
was depending on the fact if a flag was introduced or not. They got
one soon thereafter. Customs never got a gorget......

The announcement in the "Mitteilungsblatt der Reichszeugmeisterei"
about the opening for the new RZM with its included plan!



From my book about wall plaques and signboards, the main-entrance of the main building:



Before the opening and during the building of the project all kinds of
excursions took place. Shown a photo from February 22, 1937 from
"students" from the NS-Lager für Verwaltungsbeamte from Tutzing.



Possibly the same persons, visiting the enormous buildings. known as
"Reichsautobahnhof" for the "Reichsautozug Deutschland" and
"Hilfszug Bayern", which was built next to the new RZM at the Soyerhof
(see plan far below next to 7, the RZM) and Peter-Auzinger-Strasse .

Yes, as far as I know it is now the main building (Hauptstelle) for the
Verkehrspolizeiinspektion Verkehrsunfallaufnahme
