Reichsleiter (National Leader), was the second highest political rank of the NSDAP next only to the office of Führer. Reichsleiter also served as a paramilitary rank for the Nazi Party and was the highest position attainable in any Nazi-Organisation.
The Reichsleiter reported directly to Adolf Hitler, at whose orders they would fulfill tasks in the entire area assigned to them. The Reichsleiters formed part of the Reichsleitung of the NSDAP which had its seat at first in the so-called "brown house" in Munich.
