This is a rare complete edition of the Hamburger Anzeiger, the New Hamburg Newspaper, for Wednesday 9 August 1944.

The front page has photos and news about the verdict for eight of the Verbrecher or criminals involved in the 20 July 1944 plot to kill Adolf Hitler. Generalfeldmarschall Erwin von Witzleben (pictured during the trial), Generaloberst Erich Höpner, Generalmajor Helmutt Stieff, Generalleutnant Paul von Hase, Oberstleutnant Robert Bernadis, Leutnant Peter Graf York von Wartenburg, Albrecht von Hagen, and Hauptmann Friedrich Karl Klausing were all hung two hours after their sentences were pronounced.

The back page has many announcements of military and civilian war deaths. The Heldentod or hero's death of members of the Wehrmacht sometimes mention the location of death (in the East) and/or medals, and many of the deceased died as a result of Terrorangriffe, or Allied “terror” attacks. Note the German Crosses in the image shown right.

This rare 78 year old 4-page, 15 x 22 inch newspaper from Hamburg contains very historic news. It was stored very carefully by a true believer and is in very nice, little used condition. No odor.

Traitors Beck, Höpner and Witzleben are referred to as Schweinehunde, bastards or SOBs, a far more vulgar word in German than its literal translation into English (see right).
