-I have a question that I hope someone can answer!!!! I have Rudolf Schmeer being appointed to Reich Hauptdienstleiter der NSDAP in (1935). His (1938) Reichstag Bio confirms the (1935) date, but after reviewing the (1936) and (1938) Reichstag Bio of Werner Kropp the 1935 date comes into question. Kropp's (1936) and (1938) Reichstag Bio's state that since the (end of 1934) Kropp was with Hauptdienstleiter Rudolf Schmeer in the organization leadership of the Reich Party Conference. So, was Schmeer appointed Reich Hauptdienstleiter der NSDAP at the end of 1934 or was he appointed in 1935 like I have always thought? Maybe Kropp's Reichstag bio is inaccurate, but I don't know. If anyone can clear this matter up I would very much appreciate it!!!
