The seven issues of Der Hoheitsträger
|
| January/February 1941 (Folge 1/2), March 1941 (Folge 3), January 1942 (Folge 1), April 1942 (Folge 4), July/August 1942 (Folge 7/8), September 1942 (Folge 9) and February 1943 (Folge 2). |
| The combined January/February 1941 issue (shown right) is an example of Der Hoheitsträger that most collectors have never seen. It has a special, very striking cover with a quote from Hitler: “We are prepared for the future like never before!”. The white front covers on the other issues have the standard Hoheitsträger design of an eagle and swastika at the top of a column, the date, and the words Der Hoheitsträger on them in black. |

After decades in an archive in the High Plains Desert climate of the Black Hills in western South Dakota, these carefully stored 80+ year old magazines are perfectly dry and have no offensive odor. They are in very good condition.
Please note that the April 1942 issue has a replaced back cover, a very professional replacement of the original.

The very hard-core and controversial Nazi content of these Hoheitsträger magazines is the reason that most examples were sought out and destroyed at the end of the Third Reich and World War II by Allied denazification personnel. Their controversial content was also used by the prosecution in their effort to convict Dr. Robert Ley and others at the International War Crimes Trials in Nürnberg.

Shown right is a rare color feature from Der Hoheitsträger 1943 Folge 2. The red part of the illustration shows the 25 fundamental points that make up the 'program' of the Nazi Party. It is part of an article that Nazi Party leadership could use to teach these principles to future generations of NSDAP leaders.
Each issue also contains letters from Kreisleiter and Ortsgruppenleiter to the editor of Der Hoheitsträger, technical and organizational news, reviews of new books, Hitler quotes and patriotic song lyrics suitable for educational use.

| There was no more important magazine circulated in Nazi Germany than Der Hoheitsträger (The Standard Bearers). It was published during the Third Reich for distribution to Gauleiters, Kreisleiters and other high officials of the Nazi Party and its paramilitary organizations such as Generals of the SS, SA, NSFK, NSKK, etc. It was circulated to the Commandant and a select group of Officers at each of the Ordensburgen and to the highest ranking people in the Hitler Youth, Reichsarbeitsdienst, Deutsche Arbeitsfront, etc. - people responsible for the entire “political appearance of the Nazi Movement” within their zone (Gau, Kreis, Ortsgruppe, etc.). People representing the Nazi Party at institutions that were responsible for setting the right example and behavior, maintaining discipline and order, as well as supervising all members in their sphere of responsibility. See list show left. |
 |
| The organizational genius of the Nazi Party, Reichsorganisationsleiter Dr. Robert Ley was in charge of Der Hoheitsträger, its contents and its distribution (the magazine was published only for the orientation of the most competent, high-ranking party leaders and copies were not be loaned out to other persons). Each of the magazines in this lot has the word Vertraulich or Confidential printed at the bottom of most of the pages! So limited was the circulation of this heavily illustrated 9 x 12-5/8 inch heavily illustrated Nazi Party magazine that on every issue there was a serial number printed across a pad of lines on the back cover, and printed in German across the bottom of the front cover of each issue was a statement that translates “Only For Service Use - Confidential”. Each issue contained very sensitive information about how to make the Nazi Party look better to the press and public, Nazi ceremonies, Nazi organization and education, book reviews and even a critique of the Nazi Party members themselves. |
