The Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund fur Leibesubungen, abbreviated NSRL was the umbrella organisation for sports and physical education in Nazi Germany. The NSRL was known as the German League of the Reich for Physical Exercise until 1938. The organisation was then expanded to Austria after that country’s annexation by Nazi Germany.
The NSRL was led by the Reichssportfuhrer who after 1934 simultaneously presided over the German National Olympic Committee. The NSRL’s leaders were Hans von Tschammer und Osten (1933-1943), Arno Breitmeyer (1943-1944) and Karl Ritter von Halt (1944-1945)
