Reichspostdirektion info wanted

Post by James Hurst »

Can anyone offer any info on the "47" different Reichspostdirektionen of Greater Germany? Organization, personell, rank structure, etc.. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Reichspostdirektionen

Post by AHK »

Just finished reading the Osprey Publication, "The German Home Front 1939-45" by Brian L. Davis. Some mention is made of the Reichspostdirektion; he states there were only 38 Reichspostdirektion in Germany. With the exception of the Berlin Reichspostdirektion, all 37 Reichspostdirektionen(Regional Directorates) were headed by a President.The Berlin Reichspostdirektion was directly under the Ministry of Posts.

Have you checked out Die Deutsche Feldpost by Horst Hinrichsen? It covers Feldpost but I also believe it covers regular German mail as well.
