One reader of the 'Der Hammer-Blätter für deutschen Sinn' complained about the absence of professionality when authors wrote their articles and their reports, the quotations and the informations itself were not correct. In addition they used wrong datas and old books for comparisons. As the reader argues, these are mistakes which will help their enemies to undermine the newspaper and further erode National Socialism and its ideas. In addition newspaper cuttings and transcripts regarding the Jewish General Graziani, who was also the minister of National Defence of the Italian Social Republic from 1943-1945. The 'Hammer' and the 'Welt-Dienst' reported about the great military General, who fought for his country Italy and who was a person of trust and representative of Mussolini. Graziani was known as "the Butcher of Ethiopia". In connection with the attempt on his life, Graziani authorized also the massacre of the monks of the ancient monastery of Debre Libanos and a large number of pilgrims, who had traveled there to celebrate the feast day of the founding saint of the monastery. Other newspaper cuttings are attached, which show that General Graziani was staying in Hitlers headquaters in 1943. In the same year the newspaper reported about the cruel fights General Graziani fought, how his actions and activities show that he was a 'pure Jew'; "Only a Jew can fight and slaughter like that".
