My armchair history musings continues lol.
Finished about half of Verhey. German Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg thought unity was paramount also for propaganda reasons(Goebbels wasn't the pioneer of mass manipulation. Even before WWI, Germany knew the importance of propaganda; even Moltke expressed concern about it);
Hence, the government barred all reports, letters, and periodicals expressing disunity, whether from the Extreme Right or the Left; the newspaper of SPD, Vorwärts was allowed to be sold at Prussian railroad stations, to the amazement of many(But of course, it was still biased against the Left).
