There was little organization or structure to this group. The group was also called the Ordnertruppen around this time.[7] More than a year later, on August 3, 1921, Hitler redefined the group as the "Gymnastic and Sports Division" of the party (Turn- und Sportabteilung), perhaps to avoid trouble with the government.[8] It was by now well recognized as an appropriate, even necessary, function or organ of the party.
