Hannoversche Volksstimme

The Hannoversche Volksstimme (HV) was the successor newspaper to the communist Neue Arbeiter Zeitung, which was banned in 1933 . After the Second World War , however, the old name was deliberately not chosen in order to keep the newspaper open to other parties . The approval application submitted on August 28, 1945 was initially rejected by the British military government . It was not until almost a year later that the military government issued the license on August 15, 1946, at the same time with the express order to produce the newspaper in the Madsack printing house . One day later, on August 16, 1946, the first edition of the HV appeared .

Lower Saxon people's voice

A good year after the first edition, the Hannoversche Volksstimme was renamed the Lower Saxony Volksstimme on August 19, 1947 . This was banned on October 24, 1947 and then moved to Detmold . There the newspaper reached a circulation of 36,000 copies in mid-1949.

The truth

In 1949 the Lower Saxon People's Voice returned to Hanover under the new name The Truth . The first edition appeared there on November 12, 1949, the last on October 23, 1956.
