Sudden disappearance of posters advertising the luridly anti-Semitic and pornographic Stuermer, weekly published by Julius Streicher, evoked general satisfaction in Jewish and foreign circles today.
The displays, apparently under personal orders by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler have been replaced by large signs reading: “Our Desire Is Peace.”
There is considerable conjecture as to whether the removal of the offensive posters is merely a pre-election maneuver of designed as the first step toward elimination of all outward appearances of anti-Semitism in preparation for the Olympic Games. It was recalled that prior to the Winter Games, all anti-Semitic signs in Garmisch-Partenkirchen were ordered removed so as not to offend foreign visitors.
