Story time:
So, how did the German people cope with the creation of a new type of war? One where not even women and children, who had done nothing to antagonise any nation, were not safe? To stop people from panicking, the
Ministerium der Informationen was set up, working with the major media outlets, the papers, the cinema and the radio, to keep people calm.
However, the first media outlet to act did so without MdI encouragement. The
Neuer Grenzmann was noted for the front page after the first night of attacks. It merely showed a picture of a bombed house in Köln, with a child crying over the body of his mother. Inside were dozens of pictures of the same, from all over Köln. The last picture was of the Köln Cathedral, fully intact, with the words 'Diese Kathedrale ist gerade wie die deutschen Leute. Sie fällt nie unten.'
In 1938, publishing of The Guardian and Johan Schmidt, Space Policeman! was done by Aufeinander folgende Kunst Veröffentlichen (AfKV). 'The Guardian' stories during the rest of 1938 had as the main foe 'Das Frankreicher', a evil genius, but also a man who refused to fight and attacked those who had done nothing against him using his face less goons and his evil death gas. 'Johan Schmidt, Space Policeman!' was a bit more subtle, with a war between Earth and Venus. Venus had asked Earth's help to attack the Greys, who were becoming a threat once again. But it turned out to be part of a trick, as while Earth sent its army and rockets to fight the Greys, Venus attacked, destroying many cities in Europe. Johan never got involved in the war, but he did see the effects while policing the Solar System. He did have to fight in the July story, when Venusians attacked the rocket to Jupiter he was on. And in the September one, where he protected the Crystal people of Saturn.
The Kino-Wochenschau (Cinema Newsreel) began this year. In many cities across Germany, newsreels were shown before features, alongside the cartoons. It was intended that it would show news from across the world, but it had been preoccupied with the outbreak of war. The MdI took over, and 80% of what was shown was the Army doing a good job defending the German borders against the knobs (from
Knoblauch, garlic), communities in München and Köln pulling together and rebuilding, and films of German scientists working on ways to make the people safer.
People would also crowd around the only radio in the village or on the street to hear the speeches of President Vester Heike.

I would like to see this 'evidence' that you claim to have regarding the apparent 'Socialist conspiricy'
OOC: @bestrfcplayer, can you not double post, just edit your previous post. And I doubt 'nuclear weapons' are even close to being invented, so don't mention them IC.
