Sergey, what you have written is highly speculative; you have not presented any hard evidence whatever that any member of the Einsatzgruppen, or of any other SS-Police units involved in the massacre of the Jews, was in any way motivated by reading "Stuermer" or any other of Streicher's publications, to go out and kill Jews.
The same sort of unsupported speculation was clearly the basis for the conviction of Streicher by the IMT for Crimes against Humanity. The IMT judgement on Streicher was able to quote only one example of a German being influenced by Streicher's publications, namely this one:
Streicher, in February 1940, published a letter from one of Der Stuermer's readers which compared Jews with swarms of locusts which must be exterminated completely. Such was the poison Streicher injected into the minds of thousands of Germans which caused them to follow the National Socialist policy of Jewish persecution and extermination.
From that one very weak and inconclusive example, the IMT concluded that it was the influence of Streicher's words, what it called "poison injected into the minds" of Germans which caused them to follow the policy of persecution and extermination of the Jews. However, it adduced no evidence whatever of any causal connection between Streicher's words and the crimes against the Jews committed by the German Government, it merely speculated that such a causal connection must have existed.
Even wilder speculation is found in the Prosecution case against Streicher:

The Prosecution made this claim:
The crime of Streicher is that he made these crimes possible, which they would never have been had it not been for him and for those like him. Without Streicher and his propaganda, the Kaltenbrunners, the Himmlers, the General Stroops would have had nobody to do their
In its extent Streicher's crime is probably greater and more far-reaching than that of any of the other defendants. The misery which they caused ceased with their capture. The effects of this man's crime, of the poison that he has put into the minds of millions of young boys and girls goes on, for he concentrated upon the youth and childhood of Germany. He leaves behind him a legacy of almost a whole people poisoned with hate, sadism, and murder, and perverted by him. That people remain a problem and perhaps a menace to the rest of civilization for generations to come.
The exaggeration in this passage is monumental. It is essentially saying that if Streicher and his propaganda had never existed, it would have been impossible to carry out the killing of millions of Jews, since nobody in Germany would have been willing to perpetrate such an act.
The reality is that the main ideological motivation for individuals to accept the necessity to kill Jews en masse was the concept of Judeo-Bolshevism, the idea that the Russian Revolution and all the atrocities following from it had been the work of the Jews, who allegedly were conspiring to inflict the same atrocities on the German and other European peoples through instigating revolutions. As I have shown, that motivation affected many people in Eastern Europe who had never been exposed to Streicher and his propaganda. As Himmler expressed it in his address to German political and military leaders in his Posen speeches of late 1943 and early 1944: "We had the right to kill this people that wanted to kill us".
Most egregious is the claim that Streicher had "poisoned a whole people with hate, sadism, and murder", and had "perverted" them, to the extent that that people, the Germans, remained "a problem and perhaps a menace to the rest of civilisation for generations to come". The historical fact of course is that once Germany collapsed, the anti-Jewish imagery created by Streicher vanished almost without trace, leaving a German population showing no overt signs of active anti-Semitism, certainly far less than some other European peoples in the immediate aftermath of the war, the Poles for example.
In fact, it would seem that Streicher's anti-Semitic propaganda, far from having a formative influence on the thinking of the German people, actually depended on the support of the National Socialist regime for its dissemination, and once that support evaporated due to the collapse of the regime, the ideas promoted by Streicher simply vanished from the German mentality.
The judgement against Streicher also quotes one example from his publications that shows how out of touch he was with the actual thinking of the German Government, and accordingly how little influence he had on it:

A leading article of "Der Sturmer" in May, 1939, shows clearly his aim:
"A punitive expedition must come against the Jews in Russia. A punitive expedition which will provide the same fate for them that every murderer and criminal must expect. Death sentence and execution. The Jews in Russia must be killed. They must be exterminated root and branch."
Thus in May 1939, Streicher was calling for a "punitive expedition" against the Jews of Russia, which could only occur in the context of a war against the Soviet Union. However, precisely at that time, Hitler was preparing for a war against Poland, which might entail a war against Britain and France also, and far from contemplating a war against the Soviet Union, some of the German leaders, in particular Ribbentrop, were making moves to secure a détente with it, to ensure that it would remain neutral in the coming war with Poland and possibly the West.
It is obvious that in May 1949 no-one in the German Government was paying any attention to Streicher, who was peddling ideas totally contrary to the course that Hitler and the other top leaders were pursuing at the time.
