New Caricatures from "Der Stuermer"

I recently provided some images for a filmmaker. I'm adding six of them to the pages on Der Stürmer, Julius Streicher's anti-Semitic weekly. These come from 1932-1934. Some are on the pre-1933 page, others on the 1933-1945 page. Two examples:

East German Propaganda Periodical (August 1984)


The German Democratic Republic published an English-language illustrated magazine titled GDR Review. It appeared in other languages as well. I've added scans of the full issue from August 1984. It provides an interesting window into the GDR at a time when no one expected it to collapse five years later.

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.

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.
