history

The forerunner of the magazine was Germany Today , published between 1938 and September 1939 . “Inside Nazi Germany” first appeared in October 1939 in English. The two German exile organizations "Committee of the German Opposition" (chairman Heinrich Mann ) and "Friends of the German People's Front" (chairman Alfred Meusel ) acted as the issuing bodies, while the sociologist Meusel was the editor. Lion Feuchtwanger , Heinrich Mann, Alfred Kantorowicz and Oskar Kokoschka were the patrons .

The editor-in-chief was the communist writer Heinz Kamnitzer , the publishing director was the KPD functionary Karl Bathke (1901–1970).

The magazine, which was supported by the Communist Party of Germany , only appeared six issues between October 1939 and March 1940. Since the German-Soviet non-aggression pact of August 1939 changed the public communist attitude towards Nazi Germany, the magazine lost its financial backing and had to discontinue its publication.
