A postcard machine and a fence of posters, 1937
A coin buys a six-pfennig postcard from a street machine, and four boys study posters for the manoeuvres, Mussolini's visit and Der Stürmer.
A hand drops a coin into a grey machine lettered 6-Rpf. Postkarten, turns the crank and takes out a stamped card. Along an iron fence hang special editions announcing the Wehrmacht manoeuvres of 1937, the Berliner Illustrirte with an issue on Mussolini, and the front page of Der Stürmer headed 4000 Jahre Krieg over a caricature of a Jewish face; four boys, with a satchel, a milk can and a wooden hoop, stand and read, then turn and walk on.
Mussolini's state visit and the manoeuvres in Mecklenburg filled the papers in September 1937. Julius Streicher's Der Stürmer was not sold only at kiosks: its pages were pinned up in glass cases on street corners across the Reich, where children on their way to school read them.
