Jägermeister

Jägermeister (English: "Hunting Master")^[1] It is a title for a high-ranking official in charge of matters related to hunting. The term Jägermeister had existed as a job title for many centuries. It was redefined in 1934 in the new Reichsjagdgesetz (Imperial Hunting Law), which applied the term to senior foresters, game wardens, and gamekeepers in the German civil service.

Hermann Göring was appointed Reichsjägermeister (Imperial Gamekeeper) when the new hunting law was introduced.^[2]
