- Notes:
- Campaign leaflet for the Nazi Party during the 1932 Landtag election. It includes a list of illusions that the previous governments had been presenting to the German people and that now it is the German citizens that are footing the bill. Therefore it is in their best interest to vote for the NSDAP party over the SPD or German Centre Party.
