German news

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Deutsche Nachrichten was a weekly newspaper of the right-wing extremist NPD , which was published from 1964 to 1973. On January 1, 1974, they merged with the Deutsche Wochen-Zeitung to form the Deutsche Wochen-Zeitung - German News . The Deutsche Nachrichten can be seen as the successor newspaper to the party newspaper of the German Reich Party (DRP), the Reichsruf .

12 of the 14 shareholders in the newspaper were already on the executive committee of the German Reich Party, 11 were members of the NSDAP before 1933 or were involved in the press and propaganda of the Third Reich . From 1964, the newspaper was published by Karl Waldemar Schütz . At the same time he was a member of the executive committee for the founding of the NPD and head of the National Publishing House .

The German news gave the ideological line of the NPD. This was achieved primarily through the close proximity to the NPD party executive. Former ideologues of the National Socialist regime also worked as authors for the newspaper. Also wrote for the newspaper, among others, the NPD chairman Adolf von Thadden and the then deputy chairman of the National Democratic University Association (NHB) and later Mayor of Brunswick, Gert Hoffmann .

The newspaper was available through newsagents, but was also distributed free of charge. Deutsche Nachrichten achieved its highest circulation in 1966 with a circulation of 45,000 copies.
