NSDAP 1932/1933 fund raising flyer/ad 'Sturm Cigarette'.
Dating from most likely 1932, other ads with the same price for the cigarettes show the date 1932.
The Sturm Cigarette Company (Sturm Zigaretten, Storm Cigarettes or Military Assault Cigarettes) was a cigarette company created by the NSDAP's Sturmabteilung (SA).The sale of its cigarettes provided the SA and NSDAP with operating funds and a channel for political messaging. Coercion and violence were used to increase sales.
So it's safe to say that the sale of these cigarettes helped NSDAP to win the election, both trough gaining funds and spreading their message.
Roughly 29 x 21 cm.
Has been lightly folded, other than that it remain in excellent condition.
A very hard to find flyer!

HISTORY:
This and everything else in this category come from the same place and was found just a couple of months ago.
These items were found in Ansbach a town very near Nurnberg in Bavaria. The items were found in a barn of an old bakery, in a crate under lots of wood during a renovation.
Everything was from around 1930-1933. Probably saved by an early supporter and after the war hidden instead of thrown away.
There were several crates but a lot had been eaten by mices.
These days we are pretty sure that it's more or less impossible to do another find like this.
