Savage Reich Star: the Reich Government (2065) Seawolf's Den Seek the Wolf in Thyself! http://seawolfsden.net Savage Reich Star: The Reich Government (2065) Author : Ron McClung Categories : SavRS General Date : April 19, 2016 I merged some of Ken’s notes with work I am doing to layout the overall structure of the Reich in 2065. I am not sure how much of this will actually appear in the final work of the book (if there is one) but it is an interesting endeavor all the same. This is a work in progress. Leadership Reichschancellor (Führer): Maximillian Bourke Reich Deputy Chancellor: Holger Kronthaler Cabinet and National Authorities Office of the Reich Chancellery (Detlev Sternhell) … Office of the Party Chancellery (Elmar Hackenholt) … Reich Offices Office of the Reich Natural Resources (Joachim Wank) … Office of Homeworld Development (Rupprecht von Rosenbaum) … Office of the Reich Bank (Louis Klengel) 1 / 8 … Office of Reich Treasury (Heiner Seyler) … Office of Population Management (??) … Office of Stellar Development (??) … Ministers Reich Foreign Ministry (Simon von Bärwald) The Foreign Ministry is responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations with the Empire of Nippon, and the RSI, as well as the various colonies of the solar system. All Reichs ambassadors report to this office. The Foreign Minister may also meet with foreign heads of state on behalf of the Führer. Reich Ministry of Interior (Rudolf Biel) This ministry is responsible for the appointment of Gauleiters (party leader of a regional branch of the NSDAP), as well as control and inspection of public utilities, housing, engineering and construction. It also theoretically controls the Kriminal Polizei (Kripo) and the Ordnungs Polizei (Orpo: regular city, rural, and border police), although in actuality these are subject to the SS. Civil Service jobs relating to the Interior Ministry include: housing, construction,and utilities inspectors; civil engineers; construction workers; Kriminal or Order Police,and immigration officers. Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (Markus Wirz) This powerful office controls all forms of printed and broadcast media, aswell as all forms of art and entertainment. The Ministry also runs the official news agency DNB (Deutsche Nachrichtenburo) , which in turn regulates all other news coverage. Civil Service jobs relating to this Ministry include: news coverage and broadcast personnel; arts and entertainment inspectors; and editors. Reich Ministry Of Post And Communications This Ministry operates the postal service and regulates all public communications companies, such as Siemens Telefunken, and AEG Telefunken. By controlling this organ it is a simple matter for 2 / 8 government agencies to spy on its citizens. It is the Ministry behind the development of the Netz and the conversion of all communication mediums to it. Commission of Public Netz Management (Malte Schwefel) A special branch of the Ministry Of Post And Communications, this branch is in charge of the levels of security, and who can access those levels of the Netz. Reich Ministry of Justice (Hildebrandt Neufeld) … Reich Ministry of Finance (??) The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the collection of taxes and other revenue for the Reich. The main offices of the Ministry are as follows: RFA (Reichsfinanzamt) The notorious tax collection office. RFA agents are well known for their thoroughness and ruthless methods of dealing with fraudulent or delinquent tax payers, and have even been known to conduct armed raids on occasion. RZD (Reichszolldienst) The Reichs Customs Service inspects transports and cargo entering or exiting all Reichs territories. They even have a fleet of small System patrol craft for boarding and searching starships in space. In cases of a national emergency the Führer may assign control of these RZD vessels and personnel to the OKN (Naval High Command). Geldshutzpolizei Geldshutzpolizei are special uniformed police responsible for the guarding and transfer of currency and precious minerals for the Reich. This also includes shipments from the Reichsbank to other banks, which actually overlaps with the Ministry of Economics. Reich Ministry of Economics (??) Coordination of businesses, banking, government loans, and the production of currency are responsibilities of the Ministry of Economics. Its primary offices are: The Reichsbank 3 / 8 The Reichsbank is the central bank for the Third Reich. It handles a mixture of both government and private financial affairs including: the printing of currency; control of foreign exchange; manipulation of rates and tariffs; financing for government Ministries; commercial and mortgage loans; maintaining accounts for the military, SS, and other government offices; storage of the nation’s gold reserves; and regulation of all private and savings banks. In 1939, all commercial and mortgage banks were nationalized and placed under the direct control of the Reichsbank. Those banks which only offer personal loans and savings accounts were left in private hands, but still regulated by the government.The Reichsbank’s gold reserves increased dramatically during the War of Unification, as billions of Reichsmarks in gold was looted from occupied territories. Most of the reserves from the Bank of England, and other nations vanished in the chaos and found its way to Berlin. Bars were melted down and re-cast to bear the Reichsbank imprint and the retroactive date 1938. However, rumors still abound of a missing portion of the gold from Fort Knox, that was hidden away by the Americans shortly before the occupation. Economics Advisory Council This council is made up of selected representatives of the more importantbanks and businesses in the Third Reich. Its function is to advise the FUhrer and Minister of Economics on economic policy. Reich Ministry for Agriculture (??) … Reich Ministry of Labor (??) The Ministry of Labor regulates most general labor occupations, determines wages for all professions, and settles disputes between management and labor. Reich Ministry for Education and Public Instruction (??) … Reich Ministry for Science (??) …. Reich Ministry of Space and Aviation (??) … Reich Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs (??) 4 / 8 … Reich Ministry of Transport (??) The DT&T Ministry is responsible for documentation of domestic freight,and safety inspection and construction dealing with ground or air transportation. Commission of Planetary Transit … Commission of Orbital/Interplanetary Transport … Commission for Stellar Navigation (??) … Reich Ministry of Colonial Development The Ministry of Colonial Development coordinates the activities of government, business, and private citizens in the exploration, settlement and exploitation of newly discovered worlds. It also handles many of the other Ministries duties, until local offices and government can be established. Some of the more important offices are: Reichskommission flur Erforschung und Erweiterung (RKEE) The Reichs Commission for Exploration and Expansion handles all of the basic scientific exploration of space, operating its own fleet of exploratory vessels and personnel. It locates, maps, surveys, and provides all types of important scientific data to the government and military. Additionally it works to establish experimental colonies.The board of directors for the RKEE includes: the Deputy Minister of Colonial Development,an adjutant for the Commander-in-Chief of the Grenzkorps; an SS adjutant from the RKFDV;an SS adjutant from the RSHA; numerous scientists; representatives from Krupp,IG Farben, Transsternen Fracht-(TSF), DEST, and reps from other mining firms. Reich Ministry of Health and Human Resources (??) This is the government office regulating medicine; the medical, rescue,and related professions; health and fitness; nutritional information, and inspection of restaurants and food processing centers. All hospitals are run by the government, but doctors are allowed private practice under 5 / 8 close scrutiny. They also in charge of various Eugenics policies, immunizations, and related policy administration. Reich Ministry of Armaments (??) The Ministry of Armaments coordinates the development of weapons and weapons systems, issues defence contracts, and provides important construction work for the military. Its two primary offices are: Armaments Council A council of representatives from the large corporations that handle defence contracts. It is meant to be a forum for coordinating the activities between these corporations, so that they can all work together. This seldom happens. The usual representatives are from: Krupp AG; Siemens AG; IG Farben; Messerschmit; Baumann Industries; Bollenbach Labs; Banilov Cronauer; Ost Ind.; Kellar Munitions; Eicher Kreigsmaterielen; Waffen Fabrik Mauser-Werke AG; Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken(Luger); and AEG. Organization Todt (OT) This semi-military organization, named for Dr. Fritz Todt (its first director), is responsible for the construction of important military facilities such as roads, bases and training camps. It is not however controlled by the Wehrmacht, and all of its personnel are civilians.

  • The First and the Last
    The First And The Last THE FIRST AND THE LAST is the most complete, the most accurate and the most vivid book about Germany's fighter forces in World War II. Adolf Galland is superbly qualified to tell the story of the rise and fall of German air power. As a pilot he conveys vividly the speed and excitement of aerial combat. As Germany's commander of fighter forces he describes clearly the development of new planes, his arguments with Goring and Hitler over the vital issues of German air plans and production—and the consequences of Hitler's fatal decisions. THE FIRST AND THE LAST is the full story of what the Luftwaffe achieved in the air war, their successes and their mistakes. Here too is the complete and graphic account of the effect of American daylight bombing raids on Germany—and the overwhelming problems these raids posed for the leaders responsible for Germany's air defense.

  • The Chilean Naval Mutiny of 1931
    1 THE CHILEAN NAVAL MUTINY OF 1931 Submitted by Carlos René Manuel Tromben Corbalán to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History, September 2010 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signature) ......................................................................................... 2 ABSTRACT On 1st September 1931, the most serious mutiny affecting the Chilean Navy in nearly two centuries of existence broke out. The various books and articles which have examined this subject have used as their sources the local press and the participants´ own stories. Just in a few cases, historians have had access to official documents, because they were seldom published or access was restricted until now. This has led to gross factual mistakes in the existing historiography, leading to questionable interpretations and to the creation of legends still alive in Chile and elsewhere. This thesis discusses these topics. The Chilean Navy has in its archives a collection of 35 volumes (about 9,200 pages) of Courts Martial official documents and proceedings never studied by historians. The author used these sources under a special authorization for academic purposes. The following theories of the causes of the mutiny commonly expounded by contemporaries and subsequent historians have been researched: a.

  • **0106 OTAN 1 TDM.Qxd
    7 CAPABILITIES CAPABILITIES 3 n KEY INFORMATION NATO is putting into place a series of measures to increase the deployability and usability of its forces. It is aiming to do this through the development of realistic output indicators so that it can fulfil its present and future operational commitments and fight new threats such as terrorism and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. REVIEW OF NATO'S DEFENCE PLANNING PROCESS In the run-up to the summit, work has been undertaken on NATO's defence planning process to assist in the transforma- tion of NATO's military capabilities. The Defence Review Committee was assigned this task in June 2003 and announce- ments are expected on a streamlined defence planning review at the NATO Summit in Istanbul, as well as initiatives to improve force generation/operational planning processes. The aim is to make the defence planning process more respon- sive, efficient and coordinated, and to make sure it receives even greater attention from political leaders. One of the issues at stake is usability: members have to be able and willing to deploy and sustain a certain percentage of their forces on Alliance operations, which has not always been the case up to now. WHAT IS THE NATO DEFENCE PLANNING PROCESS? Once NATO has defined the type of military forces it needs to fulfil its missions, it must develop those forces. The NATO defence planning process is used for this purpose: it serves as an instrument to ensure that members generate the necessary military forces and capabilities to fulfil NATO missions.
