The Völkischer Beobachter served as the official newspaper of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) from 1920 until 1945. Initially launched as a weekly publication, it shifted to a daily format on February 8, 1923, under the Franz-Eher-Verlag in Munich. The paper positioned itself as a militant organ, focusing more on agitation and propaganda than on objective news reporting, often adopting a style described as more spoken than written. Despite a temporary ban in late 1923 following Adolf Hitler's arrest after the failed Beer Hall Putsch, it resumed publication in early 1925, coinciding with the reorganization of the Nazi Party. Over the next two decades, the Völkischer Beobachter became the party’s principal tool for spreading its ideology across Germany. Its influence extended nationwide as it was widely distributed and played a key role in shaping public opinion in favor of National Socialism until its final edition in April 1945.
