What is N.S.R.D.W. organisation?

Hello,

please can you tell me more about N.S.R.D.W. organisation? There are so little about them on web.

Look at photos, there is also application form from the year 1934. That's probably rare.

Thanks.

It stands for National-Sozialistische Reichsfachschaft Deutscher Werbefachleute and i believe they had something to do with advertising.

Sensei is correct. In 1934, independent advertising agencies were dissolved and incorporated into the National Socialist Reich Association of German Advertising Professionals (NSRDW). Because it was compulsory, only NSRDW members could work in advertising, the NSRDW encompassed everyone who was in the advertising business. By 1939, the NSRDW had 17,000 members. Here are two examples of membership pins. The first is a stick-pin and the second goes into a lapel button hole Dwight
