TheNSDAP Office of Foreign Affairs (German:Außenpolitisches Amt der NSDAP,A.P.A. orAPA) was aNazi Party organization. It was set up in April 1933 in theHotel Adlon inBerlin immediately after the NaziMachtergreifung ("Seizure of power"). It was led byAlfred Rosenberg. It was one of the central authorities for theforeign policy ofNazi Germany, alongside theForeign Office (AA) under the leadership ofNeurath, the Nazi Party'sAuslandsorganisation (NSDAP/AO) ofErnst Wilhelm Bohle,Joachim von Ribbentrop's special bureau (Dienststelle Ribbentrop) and part of theMinistry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (RMVP) underJoseph Goebbels.[2]
The APA lost its political importance and function in July 1941 at the latest, when Rosenberg was appointed head of theReich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories (RMfdbO). From then on, numerous APA employees worked at the RMfdbO. In February 1943, the APA was shut down as part of the "total war effort" measures.
