Gregor Strasser
In 1928, a mid-level official known as a "Kreisleiter" was introduced as an intermediary between the "Gauleiter" and the political leaders. In July 1932, as the Nazis attempted to organize on a national level, "Gauleiter" were themselves subordinated to 10 new officials known as a "Landesinspektors", each in charge of several Gaue within a specified geographic area. This reorganization, the brainchild of Gregor Strasser, was short-lived and abandoned in December 1932, after Strasser's resignation.
