Background: The Nazi Party’s Central Propaganda Office published a weekly poster designed for public display. A smaller version, about the size of a playing card, was also published. Here are eight of the smaller versions, which included some, but not all, of the content of the poster-sized versions. Many had anti-Semtic content. They were often pasted on the back of correspondence. Over one hundred other examples are available (untranslated) here. According to a summary of Nazi propaganda in the first year of the war, 1,500,000 of these were produced weekly.

Examples of the larger version are avaible elsewhere on the GPA. For more examples, see Parole der Woche. Eine Wandzeitung im Dritten Reich 1936-1943 (Munich: dtv, 1983). The British also printed forgeries of these for use in their propaganda.
