Gerd Becker Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Don,Its something like "Reichsconsortium for profession-related education in the german restaurant-business" Don?t know, if thats correctly translated, but you will get the idea probably. Btw, is there a proper translation for "Reich"?best regards,Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have always taken Reich to be the equivalent to the word Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) I have always taken Reich to be the equivalent to the word Empire.Thanks, Nick. Thats right of course, but somehow i don?t like to use empire for Hitlers Reich. It almost has an own meaning and is quite well known amongst english-speaking people. I thought there might be another translation. Sorry, should have been clearer. Edited March 15, 2007 by Gerd Becker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost has an own meaning and is quite well known amongst english-speaking people.This is very true, it has now taken on a meaning of it's own. The word is recognised all over the world & doesn't need translating when used in association with NS material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scowen Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi Don,I think we have the final proof that the pin is indeed for "Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft f?r Berufserziehung im Deutschen Gastst?ttengewerbe".Here is a certificate for a Master Cook which clearly shows the image of the badge at the top. The pin number is also shown on the certificate.Hope this helps.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
