The Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda or National Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Publicity had a very important role in Nazi Germany. Located in a grand office across the street from Adolf Hitler’s Reichschancellery in central Berlin and headed by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, it was officially in control of all aspects of German cultural and intellectual life and heavily enforced the spread of Nazi ideology. It controlled absolutely every aspect of art, book, magazine and newspaper publication, radio and TV, live theater, movies and music in Nazi Germany.
Unser Wille und Weg (Our Will and Our Pathway) was the Nazi Party monthly magazine for National Socialist enlightenment published by the Reichspropagandaleitung and edited by Dr. Joseph Goebbels. The publication contained articles on the purpose, strategy, methods and effective use of Nazi propaganda. It was published for political leaders of the NSDAP by the Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party, Zentralverlag der NSDAP Franz Eher of Munich.
Few collectors or museums own even a single copy of Unser Wille und Weg. It is exactly the kind of material that was extremely important to the leadership of the Nazi Party, and its destruction following World War II was very important to the Allies in their de-Nazification efforts. Very few examples of Unser Wille und Weg magazines published for NSDAP political leaders survive anywhere in the 21st century.
These issues of Unser Wille und Weg contain plenty of anti-British rhetoric as well as the announcement of a new picture series released by the Reichspropagandaleitung called Wir brechen Englands Tyrannei! (We Crush England’s Tyranny!).
Inside the back cover of the March and April 1941 editions of Unser Wille und Weg is a list of die wichtigsten Ereignisse or the most important events that Nazi Party political leaders should be aware of. These issues list events such as the January 1941 Hitler - Mussolini meeting, the division of NSDAP Gau Schlesien into Gau Niederschlesien and Gau Oberschlesien, the death of Nazi Minister of Justice Dr. Franz Gürtner, the swearing in by Reichsführer-SS Himmler of volunteers of the SS-Standarte Nordland in Oslo, the funeral for Hermann Kriebel (a key figure in the November 1923 Putsch) at the Feldherrnhalle in Munich attended by Hitler and Hess, the Wehrmacht invasion of Bulgaria, the naturalization ceremony in Breslau of ethnic Germans from Bukovina attended by RFSS Himmler, the Lend-Lease Act approved by the US Senate, British ships sunk by Nazi submarines, RAF airplanes downed by Luftwaffe aircraft and Luftwaffe attacks on large English cities, as well as important speeches and events attended by Reichsleiter Rosenberg, Hermann Göring, Baldur von Schirach, Reichsleiter Dr. Dietrich, Dr. Goebbels and Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess.
