After the establishment of Nazi Germany, the role of Ortsgruppenleiter was held by the primary Nazi leader in a specific municipal area. In many cases, the municipality and city administration were intertwined with the Nazi political structure, resulting in the traditional local government being overshadowed, if not completely replaced, by Nazi leadership. Traditional government positions, such as Bürgermeister, still existed, but without a corresponding Nazi official already in place, the city government essentially functioned as a rubber stamp for Nazi agendas.
Throughout World War II, the position of Ortsgruppenleiter held a significant amount of responsibility and authority, as these Nazi officials were responsible for managing city civil defense systems, allocating war rations, and overseeing civil relief efforts. As Germany faced invasion and defeat, Nazi leaders in major towns and cities also took on the role of ad hoc military commanders, leading a mix of German forces and Volksturm units.
