Völkischer Beobachter Front Pages: September1942.

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. The images come from ANNO, that Austrian project to digitize the nation’s newspapers.

September 1942 was a hopeful period from the German point of view. Submarine warfare was doing well and Stalingrad seemed near conquest.
