Original STORM SS Newspaper – 5 January 1943 – Weekblad der Germaansche SS in Nederland

This is an original issue of STORM SS, the weekly newspaper of the Germaansche SS in Nederland, dated 5 January 1943. STORM served as one of the primary propaganda platforms for the Dutch SS movement during the German occupation, making any surviving issue an important historical artifact.

This edition features the bold “STORM SS” masthead and the headline “In Dienst der Revolutie” (“In Service of the Revolution”). The content includes ideological articles and political messaging aimed at Dutch volunteers and sympathizers.

Condition

This newspaper shows heavy wear, fully consistent with its fragile wartime newsprint:

• Multiple tears and edge losses around the margins
• Paper heavily toned with age
• Right-hand side creased and damaged
• The central fold is fragile and almost completely separating; pages must be handled with care
• Despite the condition issues, the text remains mostly legible

Even in this worn state, STORM SS newspapers are highly sought-after due to their rarity and historical significance. Most copies were destroyed after the war, making surviving examples—especially dated issues like this—important documentation of wartime propaganda in the Netherlands.

A valuable addition for collectors of occupied Netherlands memorabilia, collaborationist publications, and WWII propaganda materials.
