If You See Something, Say Something.....
I have finished a major update of the site. Some of the pages date back to the earliest days of the Internet, and most did not meet current HTML standards. Whenever I update the coding, errors inevitiably creep in. Should you be browsing the site and see something amiss, please drop me an email.

Goebbels Speaks after the 1944 Assassination Attempt on Hitler
Goebbels used the 20 July 1944 attempt on Hitler's life to assert that God had
preserved his life and that new weapons would shortly transform the war.
His speech
was delivered on 26 July, six days later.

East German Agitation in 1955
The German Democratic Republic distinguished between propaganda and agitation. Propaganda treated matters in depth, whereas agitation was intended to reach people with the party’s message. There was an enormous amount of material on both. A problem is that most of it was done on a “volunteer” basis. Finding and motivating agitators was a constant challenge.
Today I'm adding material on agitation from 1955.
