Emailschild Reichsnährstand - Ortsbauernführer



The Reichsnährstand was formed 13 September 1933 by the Reichsminister für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft, Walther Darré, when all farmers organizations were merged into one. It was responsible for Price Control, Imports, Rationing, Distribution and Production related to Agriculture and Organized everyone working in the Agricultural Sector. When the food shortage began to be felt during the war due to the Bombings, Darré was suspended in May 1942 and replaced by Herbert Backe May 1944. Every Farming Community had these signs. It was a gift from a Friend in Ostrach,Germany.


* Note
 If you see the small Medal hanging next to the sign, this was the Battle Hitler talked about in Mein Kampf. (Königgrätz den 3 Juli 1866) Historic note*


The Battle of Königgrätz - Schlacht bei Königgrätz, was the decisive Battle of the Austro-Prussian War, in which the king of Prussia defeated the Austrian Empire.
