The " Dienst aus Deutschland " - abbreviation: DaD or DAD - was propagandistic correspondence from Verlag Deutschlanddienst GmbH, Berlin for the press - especially in German-speaking countries during the Nazi era . The first edition appeared on June 15, 1934. Georg Dertinger was entrusted with the establishment of the intelligence service by the Foreign Office and from 1934 worked for the correspondence service from Germany , later its editor. In 1949 he became the first foreign minister of the GDR . One of Dertinger's DAD colleagues was Ernst Lemmer , later a chairman of the Free German Trade Union Federation (FDGB) in the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ). Another DAD editor from 1938 to 1945, Wilhelm Gries , was deputy editor-in-chief of the SMAD- licensed daily newspaper Neue Zeit after the end of the war and in 1946 and 1947 editor-in-chief of this CDU newspaper. The 1935 annual report of Verlag Deutschlanddienst GmbH is in the Federal Archives.
