German term (edited):

Selected
The Reich Executive of the Hindenburg Committee
The Reich Executive of the Hindenburg Committee
The National Executive of the Hindenburg Committee
You have the potential for four nouns in English where German offers two compound nouns. Two transfer easily into English:
Hindenburg > Hindenburg
Komitee > committee
One of them has two possible translations:
Reich > ‘Reich’ or ‘empire’
In the context of 20th Century politics, ‘Reich’ is normally understood by an informed reader. (Another possibility would be 'national')
This leaves just one noun to be translated: ‘Ausschuß’. Dictionaries propose ‘committee’ but this is already spoken for. The closest alternative is ‘executive’.
