- Notes:
- Campaign election leaflet for the KPD in the November 6, 1932 elections. It calls out to workers to fight against opposing parties and their claims to support the workers during strikes. They deny that the NSDAP is against wage cuts since they have used the SA to break up strikes. It is the KPD that is fighting against hunger and facism, and that all workers should support.

- Nazi propaganda leaflet dropped on American troops. It brings forward two questions for American fighting troops including, what chance they have to get home alive and what they will be facing when they get home. It tells the soldier that they have little chance to get home facing the German lethal weapons and that once they get home they will face unemployment and an economic crisis. Therefore, what are they fighting for?

- Notes:
- Translated as Songbook of the National Socialist German Worker Party or NSDAP, this work was designed to promote songs which would be sung in streets and beer halls during the height of the popularity of the National Socialist movement. Historians of music have noted that "Nazi" music represented an attempt to identify authentically German music to create a national cultural history (see Potter, Pamela M., "What is "Nazi Music"? The Music Quarterly, vol. 88, No. 3 (Autumn 2005), pp. 428-455). This work is discussed in Jung, Michael. Liederbücher im Nationalsozialismus: Dokumente. Vol. 2. Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main, 1989. This is a part of Western Michigan University's World War II Propaganda digitized collections. "In Zusammenarbeit mit den Gliederungen der Bewegung herausgegeben vom Kulturamt der Reichspropagandaleitung. 41 neubearbeitete Auflage" indicates that this is a revised and authorized edition. and Unsere Hymnen -- Lieber für unsere Feiern -- Fahneneinmarschlieder für unsere Feiern -- Unsere Marschlieder -- Landsknecht- und Soldatenlieder
