10th September 1942 Heilbronner Tagblatt Self-addressed reply envelope for the 'Heilbronner Tagblatt' newspaper. Ref: 10.09.1942 Heilbronner Tagblatt From Wikipedia.de The Heilbronner Tagblatt was a regional daily newspaper published in Heilbronn from 1932 to 1945 that belonged to the NSDAP and served as a mouthpiece for the National Socialists. It was founded in January 1932 by the Heilbronn NSDAP in order to have its own daily newspaper and had been published daily since 5th March 1932. From the fall of 1932 (until 1938), the publishing director was the Heilbronn NSDAP district leader Richard Drauz. After the seizure of power, the Tagblatt publishing house was able to use reprisals to force all other Heilbronn daily newspapers out of business and take them over by the end of 1934, especially those of the bourgeois publisher Viktor Kraemer Jr., whose printing and publishing house had been bought cheaply by the National Socialists. Kraemer's Neckar-Zeitung continued to appear under the NSDAP for some time, from 1st January 1935 under the title Heilbronner Morgenpost , but was then discontinued on 31st July 1937. At the time of National Socialism, the Tagblatt had a newspaper monopoly in Heilbronn and reported in line with the party's wishes until its collapse in 1945.
