Series IV. Newspapers, 1930 - 1948

Series — Box: 13

Scope and Contents

This series comprises a single flat box containing a variety of German and English language "broadsheet" and large format newspapers dating from the interwar period (1930) to the post-WWII occupation of Germany (1948). The newspapers survive to a different extent in each case; all include at least the full front page and masthead, and most are complete or nearly complete. The newspapers have been retained as examples of the primary focus of OMGUS/ICD in the months following the end of the war, both the establishment of a new free press and the elimination of NSDAP propaganda, and are described here by representative title and affiliation. In addition to the front page sections listed here, the box also contains occasional pages from cultural and financial supplements, such as pages of the Sunday literary supplement for the U.S. published Staatszeitung und Herold.
