Der Sturmer Newspaper Issue 1941 Number 24 - Der Stürmer Newspaper, Nuremberg, 12 June 1941 (Nr. 24, 19. Jahr) An original wartime issue of Der Stürmer, the weekly newspaper published by Julius Streicher in Nuremberg, as identified in the paper's own masthead and imprint block. The front page is headed ”Das Schicksal der Völker” and features the red-printed slogan ”Die Juden sind unser Unglück!” beneath a related editorial, alongside an illustrated feature on German paratroopers, ”Unsere Fallschirmjäger”, and a contents list of further articles. Der Stürmer was founded by Streicher in 1923 and became one of the principal vehicles for Nazi antisemitic propaganda, produced under his editorship throughout the Third Reich until 1945. Issues such as this one are studied and collected today as primary source material for the history of Nazi Germany and the propaganda apparatus that accompanied its wartime policies. Der Stürmer was founded by Julius Streicher in 1923 and became one of the principal vehicles of Nazi antisemitic propaganda, notorious for its crude caricatures and inflammatory rhetoric that helped normalise persecution of Jews within German society. It circulated widely through public display cases (Stürmerkästen) as well as subscription, reaching a broad readership despite being viewed even by some senior Nazis as extreme. Streicher was tried and convicted at Nuremberg after the war, and the paper's content was cited as evidence of incitement contributing to the Holocaust. Surviving issues are preserved today primarily as historical documents illustrating the mechanisms of state-sponsored propaganda and hate speech.
