    Reemtsma has a rather interesting history and was one of the largest cigarette manufacturers in Germany. Originally they were rebuffed by the party for having too many Jewish employees and partners, but money fixed that and the company later assisted those employees and partners in emigrating out of Germany. As things progressed, the company did end up tied closely to the party and ended up being one of the largest donors. Reemtsma is one of the most advertised cigarettes during the war. They advertised regularly in the military magazine "Die Wehrmacht" the two ads in the photo are from 1939 and 1940 issues.
