Imprisonment for the Jewish merchant, Adolf Morgenstern, is demanded in the Nazi press because he allegedly changed his first name from Abraham to Adolf and married an Aryan girl.

The papers claim that Morgenstern adopted the first name of Hitler in order to mislead Nazis into buying Nazi uniforms from him. Morgenstern did a wholesale business in selling uniforms at Kiel.
