Description
The RBA, “Reichsbetriebszellenabteilung” (National-factory-cells-department), was founded in January of 1931 and was renamed the NSBO, “Nationalsozialische Betriebszellen Organization” (National-socialist Industrial-cells Organization), in March of that year. This organization acted as the NSDAP’s alternative to labor unions and communist worker groups in industrial factories. The NSBO was absorbed into the DAF in October of 1934, and ceased to exist in March of 1935.
