Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for Otto and Elise Hampel
Description
Freie Presse!
Fort mit dem Hitler Verrenkungssystem!
Der gemeine (Arbeiter Mörder) Soldat Hitler
und seine Bande stürzen uns in den Abgrund!
Diese Hitler Göring Himmler Goebbels Bande
ist in unser Deutschland nur Todes Raum zu gewähren!

One of the Hampel's actual postcards, which the Hampels distributed in Berlin between 1940 and their arrest in 1942. They were later tried and executed by the Third Reich. The Hampels were not educated as the handwriting shows. In the middle of the postcard is a postage stamp, then current, bearing Adolf Hitler's profile. Scrawled across the stamp are written the words, "Arbeiter Mörder": Worker murderer. The postcard reads, "Free press! Away with the Hitler dying-a-wretched-death system! The low-ranking soldier Hitler and his gang are plunging us into the abyss! This Hitler Göring Himmler Goebbels gang should only be granted space to die in our Germany!"
[Translator's note: "Space to die" was a reference to the German term "Lebensraum" (space to live), used by the Nazis as a justification for German expansionism.]
