Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung #24 (? Date)
The Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung (sometimes also Kölnische Illustrierte or abbreviated to KIZ ) was one of the largest national German periodicals of the early 20th century.
In 1933, when the National Socialists seized power, the press in the German Reich – and with it the Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung – was brought into line. The publisher swung to a National Socialist course earlier than some of its competitors, praising Hitler and Mussolini's fascism as early as January 1933 and converted its front page into an election poster for Hitler on November 11, 1933. The National Socialists saw the Illustrierte as well as the Kölnische Zeitung as important propaganda instruments and approved foreign sales in Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland and Greece. Some of the shipping was by air.
Despite being brought into line, the magazine maintained a relatively high standard in the years that followed, with film and theater reviews and a popular science page. In 1935, the Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung printed a previously unpublished series of images from the First World War over several editions: Here, German soldiers and positions from the perspective of the Allies could be seen in particular. This had a political goal, namely to denounce the supposedly unjust attitude of the war opponents to the "brave, honorable German soldiers".
The Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung was discontinued three years before the end of the Second World War - and thus much earlier than its much more famous newspaper sister, the Kölnische Zeitung.
