German Adria newspaper
The Deutsche Adria-Zeitung was a German-language daily newspaper in Italy, which was occupied by Nazi Germany during the fascist social republic from 1944. It had its editorial office in Trieste and was run by Europa-Verlag, a subsidiary of Franz-Eher-Verlag managed by Rolf Rienhardt , edited by Max Amann . Publishing director was Leo Meister, editor-in-chief was Hermann Pirich .
The newspaper first appeared on January 14, 1944, during the time of the Italian Social Republic . It was effectively an occupation newspaper like its sister papers, since Trieste was at that time within the Adriatic Coastal Operation Zone , a part of the social republic that was under German military administration. The last edition appeared three days after the end of the Italian Social Republic on April 28, 1945; thus the Deutsche Adria-Zeitung was very short-lived compared to other occupation newspapers .
The newspaper was initially four pages long (with the exception of Sunday and Monday, on those days it was six and two pages, respectively), and since January 22, 1945 only two pages. The general shortage of paper had already significantly reduced the volume of other occupation newspapers, some of which had already been discontinued.
In terms of content, the Deutsche Adria-Zeitung ventured so far that the Reichsführer SS's security service intervened. Leading articles often did not comply with the applicable rules: For example, the defeat of the German Reich was suggested as a possibility. The author Ernst Glaeser , who is considered a "left-wing author", worked as an author for the newspaper after he had originally been supposed to work for the Pariser Zeitung , which also belongs to Europa-Verlag , but which was forbidden by Joseph Goebbels .
