Beginning in the 1920s, a man named Julius Streicher published a small weekly German newspaper called Der Stürmer. Its mission was straightforward: to warn the German people about the threats posed by foreign and domestic Jews. A key feature of Der Stürmer was its political cartoons. The cover of every issue, and several interior pages, displayed cartoons depicting various Jewish dangers, in a most striking and graphic form. The lead cartoonist was a man named 'Fips' Rupprecht. His cartoons became the signature feature of the newspaper, and grew to represent the broader German struggle against Jewry.
With the demise of National Socialist Germany, Der Stürmer and Fips' cartoons were largely forgotten. Or rather, they were buried-the victorious nations certainly did not want old Nazi images floating around, raising difficult questions and making people think. Recently, though, a skilled digital artist named Robert Penman rediscovered the forgotten images. He carefully restored, colorized, and reissued them. Here, for the first time, he has compiled 200 of the best Fips images, as they have never been seen before.
Penman has done a masterful job. The images are sharp, crisp, and compelling. The colors are stunningly vivid. The effect is truly astonishing. Fips' cartoons, originally printed on cheap newsprint, come alive for the first time. Every image is a small masterpiece, a true work of contemporary art. And one each tells a story—a story with relevance for the present day.

Reviews
For the scholar of the JQ or the person just wanting to see a glimpse of one of histories most notoriously cherished / reviled cartoons in the modern era. This book is the one you were looking for.
Each Der Sturmer comic fleshed out in color adds a level of detail "Fips" and Julius Streicher would've loved to have printed for their audience.
It is the most comprehensive Der Sturmer / Fips comics I've ever come across. I would be among the first to purchase if a 3rd volume were to ever be added to this collection.
Very happy with this set
A brilliantly produced restoration of cartoons published in Der Sturmer. The only downside is that I wish I had got them in hardback!
Received the books on time and as described. Hard cover books are worth it. These books contribute to the historical understanding of the first half of the 20th century.
