Der Schulungsbrief - NSDAP Party Training Publication, 6. Folge 1940

A printed booklet issue titled "Der Schulungsbrief, " Berlin, VII. Jahrgang, 6. Folge, 1940, published under the direction of the Reichsorganisationsleiter der NSDAP. The cover bears a large party eagle emblem above the title in gothic script, with a framed illustration captioned "Gold gegen Blut" depicting a torch-bearing figure. This monthly periodical served as an official ideological training publication distributed to party members and organizations, used for political instruction and indoctrination purposes within the NSDAP apparatus.

Der Schulungsbrief was the principal ideological training periodical of the NSDAP, issued under the authority of the Reichsorganisationsleitung to indoctrinate party functionaries, cell leaders, and members in official National Socialist doctrine. Distributed monthly, it combined racial and historical propaganda with practical guidance for local party instructors conducting Schulungsabende (training evenings). The 1940 issue, appearing during the early war period, reflects the regime's efforts to frame the conflict ideologically for its cadre, reinforcing themes of sacrifice and racial struggle such as the "Gold gegen Blut" motif referencing wartime economic and financial propaganda against Britain.
