Cover:

The War Aim of World Plutocracy.

Wehrmacht

Anti-Semitic Propaganda
This is the cover to the most infamous issue of
Der
Stürmer

the 1934 issue accusing Jews of practicing ritual murder to secure the blood of Christians to use in Jewish religious rituals. The headline reads: Jewish Murder Plan against Gentile Humanity Revealed. The issue actually got banned by the Nazis after it had been out for a while, not because of anti-Semitic content, but because it compared alleged Jewish ritual murder with the Christian sacrament of communion.
