NAZI VÖLKISCHER BEOBACHTER NEWSPAPER PROMOTION

A WERBEBLATT OR PROMOTIONAL
EXAMPLE OF THE NAZI
PARTY NEWSPAPER
VÖLKISCHER BEOBACHTER
(NATIONAL OBSERVER)
IN A SMALLER SIZE

Although it was the largest circulation daily newspaper in Nazi Germany with editions published in Berlin, Wien (Vienna) and München (Munich), and in spite of being owned by the NSDAP, the Völkischer Beobachter (National Observer) still had to advertize to attract new subscribers.

This 9 x 12-1/4 inch, 8-page miniature of a full size Völkischer Beobachter newspaper is a rare Werbeblatt or promotional example of the paper filled with reasons why anyone would want to subscribe.

The picture of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and Nazi Party Führer and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler shaking hands on page 1 runs above a caption that translates in part “this picture was sent electronically and was in the hands of the editor of the VB newspaper in Wien within 2 hours and 55 minutes of being taken”.

There is news and there are photos from around the world inside the paper.

On page 8 there is a photo of Nazi Reichsleiter for the Press Max Amman, wearing a Blutorden (Blood Order medal) on his uniform and stating that the VB belonged in every German home. Below his photo there is a subscription form waiting to be filled in (3.35 Reichsmarks or the equivalent of $1.35 per month).

We have seen many Völkischer Beobachter newsstand signs, and even a Völkischer Beobachter delivery cart, but this is the ONLY example of original Völkischer Beobachter advertising we have EVER seen! Rare and in very good condition.

Left, a photo of Adolf Hitler relaxing and reading the Völkischer Beobachter at his mountain home the Berghof outside Berchtesgaden.

This rare Völkischer Beobachter newspaper Werbeblatt is
**SOLD*.
We will be happy to ship abroad at additional cost. Please inquire.
