Anybody using google to translate “Lustige Blätter” would get “funny leaves,” but the better translation is “Funny Pages.”
The German word for leaf can also mean a page of paper, just like the english expression “loose leaf paper.”
I tried to find the original source - unfortunately, the paper went Nazi under the regime.
Not gonna lie, I love how it increasingly gets more desperate, going from showing off how well they’re doing, to how “horrible the things the allies are doing”, to end on just a lazy caricature of “the enemy”. Also how it shifts from “we’re waging a war of justice!” to “the jews organized WW2”
I’m really curious about why the paper turned so far right - if Nazis replaced the staff or something. Wikipedia suggests it was liberal before the Nazis; looking through the artists they employed at least one was Jewish or creators of “degenerate art.”
Maybe there’s an academic article in German or such, my Deutsch is limited to “Das Kind spielt der Ball” so my research skills are limited here.
Just reading between the lines, mozkowski, one of the founders, was a member of a Jewish community organization and worked at the magazine until 1927. I’m guessing he was a moderating influence and things changed when he left.
May I introduce you to the concept of Gleichschaltung
Basically, the Nazis went through great lengths to install loyal followers in all aspects of life, including the publishing sector.
They did also change the organisational structure of pretty much everything they could lay their hands on according to the Führerprinzip

Yes, scratch a liberal Jew and a Nazi bleeds, you really nailed it. /s

Do you not understand the phrase or its history? Is there any additional information I could provide to help you better understand what is being communicated?
No, don’t worry, I understand just what’s being played at. But you keep playing at purity politics in the hopes of putting fascists in power.
Probably survival instinct. My grandma’s first husband worked for this right wing paper that was struggling to keep alive. After the Nazis took over it became the premier paper of the region and my grandparent’s life improved significantly.
I guess other papers had the choice of following the party line or closing down.
We also use the words “leaflet” and “flyer” for single-page publishing.

you would think so, but no, that’s generally not how I experience it as a trans lesbian or my sibling does as a trans woman with a transmasculine partner. Society still generally vilifies us
