Der Angriff, Nazi Party organ, yesterday opened a drive for party control of department stores suspected of belonging to Jews.
The paper, mouthpiece of Propaganda Minister Goebbels, alleged that many Jewish stores have been fictitiously “Aryanized” to avoid the anti-Jewish boycott. It asserted that Wertheim’s, Berlin’s largest department store, belonged in that category.
Charging that Reichsminister of Economics Dr. Hjalmar Schacht had frustrated a party investigation of the situation a year ago, Der Angriff demanded that the issue be revived.
The paper also demanded elimination of Jewish real estate agents.
