Probably the most important and influential of all the party publications produced and printed in Nazi Germany were the monthly issues of an unpretentious 8 x 11-1/2 inch, well illustrated monthly magazine called simply DER SCHULUNGSBRIEF.
Most English speaking collectors, dealers and historians incorrectly assume that Der Schulungsbrief was some sort of magazine for schools or school children. Nothing could be further from the truth. The title Der Schulungsbrief actually means and should be translated into English as “The Party Directive”. It was published under the direction of the Reichsorganisationsleiter himself, Dr. Robert Ley.
Many people are quick to point out the contributions made to the NSDAP in Germany by people like Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, Hitler Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach, Reichs Propaganda Chief Dr. Joseph Goebbels, architect Albert Speer, Dr. Fritz Todt and others. Few people know it but Ley was the real genius behind most of the organization of the Nazi Party. As Reichs Organization Leader he was responsible for the publication of the Organisationsbuch der NSDAP which outlined how every Nazi paramilitary unit from the SS to the Hitler Youth was organized, what uniforms they wore and what their mission was.
Life in Germany during the Third Reich would have been impossible without it or Der Schulungsbrief. Each issue typically contains illustrated articles and 4, 8, or 12 pages of photographs and captions. Anybody within the paramilitary structure of the Nazi Party (SA, SS, NSKK, NSFK, DAF, HJ, Auslandsorganisation, etc.) who was in the know had a copy of the Organisationsbuch der NSDAP and subscribed to Der Schulungsbrief. With a monthly circulation over 4 million, the magazine covered every NSDAP subject from the most serious racial questions to matters like the Jews, Concentration Camps and the worldwide geographical distribution of the swastika symbol in antiquity. The extremely anti-Semitic position of Der Schulungsbrief gave away nothing to Julius Streicher’s Der Stürmer.
If one wanted to know the Ten Things for Husbands to Think About, see a picture of the first Nazi Swastika Flag or the 1927 Party Day Badge, or wanted to know why Winston Churchill was a war criminal, one needed to look no further than the pages of Der Schulungsbrief. Those who wrote articles for Der Schulungsbrief represent a “Who’s Who” of the intelligencia in Nazi Germany.
Good examples of Der Schulungsbrief are not easy to acquire but are essential to ALL competent Third Reich research. The Allies recognized the dangerous nature of the content of Der Schulungsbrief after the war and ordered the destruction of millions of copies of the magazine.
