One of the "Horst-Wessel-Lied" parodies, published on the cover of Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung dated 11 January 1934 (printed in Prague):

I found this in my late mother-in-law's possessions. It's post-war:

A good title :D Thanks for sharing. But is there any info about it (the paper item itself), anything written on the reverse side? Was it printed, for example, by someone your mother-in-law knew, for private use, or was it mass produced, for public? As far as anyone can tell without further info, this could have been printed by anyone for their own private use (i.e. can't be considered a historical document).

Cheers,
Ivan

It looks mass-produced. It is firmly stuck in an old photo album. If I can get it out without ruining it, I'll check out the reverse.

Glad you liked it.
