That was most interesting! I believe the US Army took Munich on April 30. It's interesting that they were publishing the Völkischer Beobachter right up until the city was occupied.

@ Helly Angel...I was talking Berlin only - surrounded as it was at that time. Was there another 'north German edition'?
Source for the 28th, is Kuby's 'Die Russen in Berlin' which appears very well researched, rgds, Varjag

Re: The propaganda of April-May 1945
Interesting thread! Can anyone confirm that it was Dr. Naumann that edited the Panzerbär? And speeking of Naumann I have an american print of a speech he supposedly held on March 23, 1945 called "Surrender, never!" - wonder where the text came from, as I'd like to see the german original text - could it have been printed in Völkischer Beobachter?!

Hello Varjag,

Hello Halfdan,
Yes, that was the speech of Neumann and it was used as the ideological manual to the Werwolf and the people. It was published and is one of the last materials of the Reich. Neumann was the leader of a nazi conspirators circle after the war and was a kind of Führer underground, in this forum you can search about that.

"...The last copy of the North German edition (of the Völkischer Beobachter) was dated April 27, 1945, and of the South German German edition, April 30."

Yes, Berlin’s Panzerbär’s last issue was April 28, two days before Hitler’s suicide. And I think the claim that Berlin’s Völkischer Beobachter was published on that day is possibly wrong. I believe the two periodicals are being confused. Furthermore, as I understand it the Völkischer Beobachter ceased publication in Munich on April 20, the day the US Army captured the city. Since the Völkischer Beobachter’s publishing house was also in Munich, how could the last issue have been printed on April 30 in Southern Germany? I know the US Army would not have simply stood by and allowed this periodical to be printed and the publishing house was seized on the first day of occupation. The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich” must be wrong on this issue. Or, was the issue printed one week earlier and never issued before the occupation?

Last editions were captured by allies, never were published.
A question: the news in cinema... the "Deutsche Wochenschau" was until...? there are a edition post-war?

Last edition of Panzerbär was in april 29, with the headline with a false new of a ring of defenders helping to the NS fighter to scape from Berlin and the russian circle.

Mark,
I believe there was one additional publication after April 27. However, I'm not sure.

Re: The propaganda of April-May 1945
The American army didn't take Munich until April 30. The VB was definitely printed up to that date. The last issue I have is 4/28, but I have xeroxes of 4/29 and 4/30. The 4/30 issue was not distributed to the public because the Americans got to the Mueller Printing Company before distribution could begin.
The VB Munich & South German editions were printed in Munich; the Berlin & North German editions were printed in or near Berlin, which is why the two editions didn't simultaneously shut down.
"Panzerbaer" was printed until 4/29. Scan of last issue attached...

Re: The propaganda of April-May 1945
Issues of "Panzerbaer" were 4 pages long (there may have been a 2 page supplement to one issue, so far this is unconfirmed). It ran daily from 4/23 to 4/29 1945.
Originals do show up from time to time, but are always extremely expensive. Every issue has been reproduced since 1945, and anyone contemplating buying issues should triple check their source before buying!
I'm posting the entire last issue here....
