History

The Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories (Reichsministerium für die besetzten Ostgebiete, RMfdbO or RMBO) was established in July of 1941 to administrate the German-occupied parts of Eastern Europe, mostly Russia. It was headed by Alfred Rosenberg.

The Reich Leader Rosenberg Taskforce (Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg, ERR), also led by Alfred Rosenberg, had already been established in July of 1940 in France. With the expansion of German-occupied territories the ERR eventually began to operate in east and southeast Europe as well. This organisation was tasked with stealing cultural artifacts.

The uniforms of the Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories are dark brown.

The Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg Visorless Field Cap was worn with breeches, but not with trousers. It is designed in the Army style. The colour is the same dark brown and in the same fabric as the tunic. Versions for higher and medium ranks feature piping, as opposed to lower ranks who wore no piping. The insignia consist of an Army style eagle emblem and national cockade.
