Great topic and extremely great dagger - as usual Herr Vogel has a beauty.
As to the functions and administration of these fellas they fell under the Reichs Ministry of Interior and the personnel for the Postschutz were drawn from the Sonderpolizei and under the supervision of the Postmaster - General Dr. Ohnesorge. One of their functions was to provide security to the extensive communications installations.At one point the Postschutz strength was over 45000 strong.After 1942 the Postschutz was transferred from the German Post Office to the Ordnungspolizei which was part of Himmlers Reich.
