Foundation

The first issue of SAZ was published on October 21, 1931.[2] The decision to launch a daily newspaper for the party had been taken at the founding conference of SAPD.[3] The newspaper initially published from Breslau (present-day Wrocław).[2] During this period it consisted only of 4 pages, and despite of the label 'central organ' it was effectively a local Breslau publication of low quality. It carried the by-line 'Daily Newspaper of the Socialist Workers Party of Germany'.[4] Max Richard Kleineibst was the founding editor-in-chief of SAZ.[5][6] Kleineibst had previously been the editor of the Social Democratic organ in Löbau, Volkszeitung für die Oberlausitz.[4]

Move to Berlin

On November 1, 1931, the newspaper was moved to Berlin.[2][4][7] During this period the newspaper was published daily (except for Mondays) and contained at least 8 pages.[4] Apart from SAZ SAPD produced a number of a weekly newspapers, Die Fackel ('The Torch', later renamed Sozialistische Wochenzeitung, 'Socialist Weekly' and Kampfsignal, 'Signal of Struggle'), a theoretical magazine Klassenkampf ('Class Struggle') and the weekly Das Volksrecht ('The People's Right').[1][8]

Five-day ban

On June 25, 1932, a five-day ban on SAZ was issued, for having 'insulted' the President of the Reich.[9]

Shift to Breslau

Moreover, in late June 1932, following a conflict inside the party, SAZ moved back to Breslau with a new, more leftist, editorial team.[7][10] Kleineibst and Dora Fabian were fired from the editorial team, due to 'right-wing deviation'.[11] Walter Fabian was named as the new editor-in-chief of SAZ.[12] Kleineibst would be named foreign editor of SAZ.[5]

Editors

Editors of SAZ (in different periods) also included Roland Beutner, Herbert Duckstein, August Enderle, Karl Frank, Paul Frölich, Lehmann, Rodominski, Will Schaber, Heinrich Ströbel and Klaus Zweiling.[4] The young Herbert Frahm (later known as Willy Brandt) wrote articles in SAZ (including sharp criticisms of SPD).[13]

gollark: Some theories have better evidence than others, they're never *definitely true*.
gollark: Well, I'm fairly sure you're wrong.
gollark: Nothing in real-world-interacting science is "proven" such that it's definitely true forever and ever.
gollark: You can prove that "in some physics model, energy is conserved"; you can't *prove* "this is the physical model the universe obeys", only show it's really really unlikely that it does anything else in the situations you test.
