The deal[edit]

There was a page called Rusha that itself was a disambiguation page. What I did was: create a RuSHA page that had its own disambiguation page, created that disambiguation page, and redirected the Rusha page to the RuSHA page.

Amt of RuSHa[edit]

The SS Main Race and Settlement Department (SS-Rasse- und -Siedlungshauptamt—SS-RuSHA) contains the following four offices (Ämter):

Administration Office (Verwaltungsamt).

Marriage Office (Heiratsamt) which rigidly controls the selection of suitable wives by SS men.

Racial Office (Rassenamt), which selects future SS men and handles the tasks of racial selection connected with the function of the RF-SS as Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of Germanism.

Settlement Office (Siedlungsamt), which deals with the settlement of discharged SS men, especially in the annexed eastern areas.

The above offices of the Main Race and Settlement Department are further divided into Main Branches (Hauptabteilungen). One of these is the Main Welfare Branch, which handles the problems of welfare and pensions in close cooperation with the SS Main Welfare and Pension Department (SS-Hauptfürsorge- und- Versorgungsamt) in the Reich Ministry of the Interior.
