I came across a regulation today dated 1936 which states that it was permitted for the NS-Frauenschaft, NSV and the BDM (as part of the weekly meetings) to make youth uniform items. Prior permission from the RZM was not required and the underlying purpose was to make clothing for needy children whose parents could not afford the RZM prices. These clothing items were permitted for wear with the following stipulations:
The makers were not allowed to make a business out of the manufacture of such items.
The items had to look exactly like the original RZM item.
The items had to be made from the same materials used by the RZM
I thought this was quite interesting as it shows that the iron grip of the RZM would not seem to have been as tight as we think.
