Illustrierter Beobachter (Illustrated Observer) was an illustrated propaganda magazine which the German Nazi Party published. ^[1] It was published from 1926 to 1945 in Munich, and edited by Hermann Esser. It began as a monthly publication and its first issue showed members of the Bamberger Nationalist Party marching in front of a Jewish Synagogue ^[2] and denounced Jacob Rosny Rosenstein, a potential Nobel Laureate, as a "disgrace to German culture". Special editions denounced England and France for starting the war. ^[3]
