Palatinate gazette
The Pfälzer Anzeiger was a daily newspaper founded in Annweiler am Trifels in the Palatinate , which was created by the National Socialists as a forced merger of several Palatinate newspapers, including the Catholic Pfälzer Zeitung . The purpose was to dominate the press itself and suppress all other opinions.
The Pfälzer Zeitung had to inform its readers on March 31, 1936 that it was joining forces with several other Palatinate newspapers on April 1st and that it would adopt the name “Pfälzer Anzeiger” “in order to fulfill its larger task”. Until June 1942, the regime-loyal Pfälzer Anzeiger still had the subtitle "Pfälzer Zeitung".
The Nazi newspaper went under with the regime.
