The right-wing weekly newspaper “Muenchener Allgemeine Zeitung” is being converted into a daily with the backing of a group of industrialists who are engaging former Nazi newspapermen on its editorial staff, it was learned here today.
The editor-in-chief of the expanded publication will be Ciselher Wirsing, prominent journalist of Nazi Germany, who was editor of Munich’s “Neueste Nachrichten” during the Hitler regime. Another member of the editorial staff is Max Willmy, one-time publisher of Julius Streicher’s infamous “Der Stusrmer.”
