About the DRK:
The German Red Cross (GRC), known in German as Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK), is the official national Red Cross Society of Germany. It has a long history of providing humanitarian aid and emergency medical services.
During the Nazi era, the German Red Cross came under direct control of the Nazi Party. The organization aligned with the regime’s policies, including the exclusion of Jewish members and support for the war effort. This period marked a significant shift in the DRK’s mission, as it became a tool for promoting Nazi ideology under the guise of humanitarian work.
