Background: This page is part of a larger project to trace the history of World War II as reflected in the headlines of the Völkischer Beobachter, the Nazi Party’s daily newspaper.
March 1945 was a dreadful month from the German standpoint. The Russians were coming from the east, the Americans and British from the west. The headlines focussed on defense, not hopes of attack. By this stage of the war, paper shortages meant that most issues were two or four pages.
