Athletics specialist

The Fachamt 3: Athletics of the National Socialist Reichsbund for physical exercises was the successor organization of the German Athletics Association during the time of National Socialism.

In the course of the "synchronization" of the social organizations, the sports associations were also reorganized by the National Socialists from mid-1933. The overwhelming majority of the existing organizations were urged to dissolve themselves; as early as May 1933, the previous umbrella organization for German sport, the German Reich Committee for Physical Exercise (DRA), was dissolved.
