Any RMBO Nerds floating around???

[Dante Gambino]

I mean that in a nice way!
I have a question relating to a post card I found. Basically, the card shows Hess and Alfred Rosenberg in the same shot, but Rosenberg has a RMBO visor on. So.....that means the RMBO insignia was around well before its "creation" in July 1941? Or are historians just assuming that since Rosenberg was chosen to lead the new branch in july 1941 that it was actually created in July 1941? If you aren't following, Hess Flew to Scotland and was held prisoner in May 1941, So that dates the photo of the first week of may 1941 or earlier. The post card dates the picture 1940... which would mean the RMBO insignia was around over 7 months before it's creation?!?! Non of this is adding up......

Rosenberg was not present on June 22, 1941 when the French signed the armistice at Compiègne, which is where this photo was taken.
That is von Ribbentrop on the left in his diplomatic tunic and visor.

That explains it! It looks just like Rosenburg! Thanks for the lesson!

Sorry, but this is wrong. Ribbentrop wears the uniform of the Foreign Minister of the Reich (what he did become in 1938), not a diplomatic tunic.

Greetings, daggers.

Yes and it's 1940 not 41, but that I'm sure is just a typo.
