Anti-Bolshevist Poster from 1937

In 1937, the Nazis staged a major anti-Communist exhibition, part of a broad campaign. I've added a poster advertising the event. Parts of the program were already available on the GPA.

New Covers from "Der Pimpf"

Der Pimpf was the Nazi monthly for boys aged 10-14. I've added five new covers to the page on the magazine.

Hitler Youth Quotation Posters from 1940

Nearly every branch of the Nazi Party produced its own propaganda materials. Two collectors have kindly provided me with seven examples of weekly quotation posters issued by the Hitler Youth in 1940. According to the catalog of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, about 32 of these were published in 1940, after which publication was suspended.

Weekly Quotation Posters

The Nazis issued weekly posters with inspirational quotations. I already had many of these on the GPA, but a friend of the site recently provided me with about a dozen 1938 examples from Gau Saarpfalz that I have added to the page.

The Hitler Youth in Kiel

There was a burst of books of party history between 1938 and 1941, glorifying the "period of struggle." Today, I'm adding sections from a 1938 book titled The Hitler Youth in Kiel. It contains an introductory chapter outlining the history of the Hitler Youth in the area, which I have translated in full. There are then a lot of brief accounts, of which I have translated a few. The book has 128 pages. I've translated about twenty pages in all.

New Booklet for Boys on the Russian Campaign

Between 1940 and the end of 1942, the Nazis issued weekly 32-page booklets in a series titled Kriegsbücherei der deutschen Jugend ("War Library of the German Youth"). 156 appeared in the regular series, along with about a dozen special issues at the end.

I've added a translation of one of the last of the series, Waffen SS in Battle near Leningrad. Although it appeared in the late fall of 1942, it covered events of over a year before, when German forces were advancing toward Leningrad. I assume that, since the news on the Eastern Front was not all that good (the crisis at Stalingrad was clear to the leadership, if not yet the public), they were looking for a story of rapid advances rather than looming defeat.

Anti-Semitic Poster from 1941

A visitor to the GPA kindly provided me with this image, which I've added to the poster page. It looks to have been issued during the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. However, I am not sure of the language, and do not have a translation. I'd be pleased if someone would remedy my ignorance. UPDATE: I got an answer -- Drive the Jews and Bolshevists out of Europe, apparently.
