Lot 882:
The Danish newspaper is in good condition and it is a ‘Kamptegnet’, an anti-Semitic newspaper in the same style as the German variant ‘Der Sturmer’.
This newspaper was edited by the Danish collaborator Aage H. Andersen and the drawings were made by Olga Eggers.Aage H. Andersen joined Wilfred Petersen’s National Socialist Party in 1933. The following year, however, he changed the party to DNSAP. He stood for DNSAP in the 1935 general election, but was expelled later that year for his rabid statements about the Jewish issue. On October 31, 1935, he founded the National Socialist Workers’ Party (NSAP) and later, on October 31, 1941, the association Dansk Antijødisk Liga (DAL).He was sentenced to 80 days in prison by the Eastern High Court in 1938 for insulting another religion. Later he received several similar punishments. From May 1939 to May 1943 he published the magazine Kamptegnet, which was edited by Olga Eggers from June 1940 to February 1942. 
From December 1943 to December 1944 he was editor of the magazine Racetjenesten. 
During the war he published several strongly anti-Semitic books. 
On January 26, 1941, he returned to work at DNSAP, where he became chief of staff of the Central Bureau for Variety Policy. On May 20, 1944, he was expelled from the DNSAP because he had become head of the Central Bureau for Racial Affairs of the Schalburg Corps.*** Shipping from our office in Europe ****
