German 1933 DLRG Booklet "Neue Satzung" - Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft
A small paperback pocket booklet titled "Neue Satzung" (New Statutes), issued as Heft 3 of the Taschen-Buecherei der Deutschen Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft e.V. (German Life-Saving Society). The cover states it is valid from 12 November 1933 and lists the society's Berlin business office address and telephone number. It carries the DLRG eagle emblem with the organization's ring insignia dated 1913, along with a sun-motif device above the title. The price is printed as 10 Pfennig.
The DLRG was Germany's national life-saving and water-rescue organization, and this booklet reflects the revised statutes adopted after the Nazi government's reorganization of German associations in 1933.
The Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft, founded in 1913, was Germany's principal water-rescue and lifesaving training organisation, promoting swimming safety and drowning prevention through a national network of local branches. Like other voluntary associations, it underwent statutory revision in 1933 as the NSDAP consolidated control over civil society under the policy of Gleichschaltung, bringing clubs and societies into line with National Socialist organisational principles. This booklet, issued from the society's Berlin office, documents that administrative reorganisation while the DLRG continued its core function of training lifeguards and issuing rescue-swimming qualifications.
