Deutsche Volkszeitung (1945)

The German People's Daily was the central organ of the Communist Party of Germany ( KPD) in the Soviet occupation zone. She appeared as a daily newspaper in Berlin on 13 June 1945 to 22 April 1946 and was replaced by the forced merger of the SPD and the KPD to the SED by SED central organ of New Germany.

The German People's Daily was the first newspaper in the SBZ license, but not the first published under Soviet military rule in Germany newspaper. On the one hand, the Soviet military administration had already begun to publish their own newspapers; so was the Political Administration of the Red Army since May 15, 1945 in Berlin, the Daily Rundschau out (until 30 June 1955), plus since 21 May 1945, the Berliner Zeitung, which was passed a month later the responsibility of the Berlin government. On the other hand gave the political administrations of the three armies stationed in the SBZ part ( " fronts " ) in the first postwar weeks own news sheets for the German population out, which were distributed free of charge.

To the editors of the German People's Daily was among other things the writer Harald Hauser.
