Berliner Volks-Zeitung Newspaper (11 June 1940)
 
 
The Berliner Volks-Zeitung (BVZ) was a regional German daily newspaper in Greater Berlin from 1904 to 1944 . It was published by Rudolf Mosse 's publishing house until 1933 , then by Buch- und Tiefdruck GmbH and from 1937 by Deutscher Verlag . The newspaper's direct predecessor was the Volks-Zeitung , founded by Franz Duncker in 1853.
 
The newspaper with many pictures and short reports developed into one of the most read capital newspapers for street sales, which from 1940 found many customers, mainly in front of the gates of large armament factories. The circulation of the evening edition alone rose to 251,995 copies daily by 1943, which were mostly quickly sold out by the workers on the night shifts.
 
Due to the “total warfare” measures , at the beginning of 1943 the Reich Press Chamber decreed paper-saving restrictions such as “changes in the frequency of publication and the size of newspapers, the temporary closure of newspapers and the merging of daily newspapers from Deutscher Verlag”. As a result, the Berliner Volks-Zeitung only appeared as an evening edition from March 1943. The Berliner Morgenpost took over the subscriber base of the closed morning edition. The last issue appeared on September 30, 1944. Officially, it was stated that the newspaper would not be discontinued, but with the Berliner Morgenpostbe united.
