Deutsche Zeitung in Norwegen (English: German Newspaper in Norway) was an Oslo-based daily newspaper published in Norway during the Second World War. It was published by the subsidiary Europa-Verlag of the Nazi-controlled Franz Eher Nachfolger, [1] and had a circulation of about 40,000 copies. [2] The paper served as a model for the Amsterdam-based Deutsche Zeitung in den Niederlanden . [3]
An appreciable difference between Deutsche Zeitung in Norwegen and Deutsche Zeitung in den Niederlanden was their divergent readership; the former was predominantly read by German soldiers in Norway, [4] whilst the latter chiefly had a civilian readership. [3] A competing newspaper in Norway was the Wacht im Norden , that was distributed free of charge to soldiers. [5] Towards the end of 1940, it was decided to establish an offshoot of the paper in Tromsø. Due to a lack of competent editors from Germany, the Tromsø paper was not established before February 1941. [6] It was withal merged with Lappland-Kurier upon Finland's truce with the Soviet Union in September 1944. [7]
According to publisher Max Amann, the editors of Deutsche Zeitung in Norwegen enjoyed more editorial freedom than the editors of newspapers in Nazi Germany. Oron Hale writes, however, that on a closer examination, the dissimilarities between the Norwegian paper and the German ones were small. [8] Until June 1940, the Deutsche Zeitung in Norwegen was subject of military censorship by the German propaganda department in Norway. [9] The newspaper and its offshoots were discontinued on the cease-fire in Europe on 8 May 1945. [10]
