Where can I find German newspapers editorials and/or political interviews discussing Hitler in 1928 until the 1930 elections? Not to be "Trump=Hitler" melodramatic, but I was wondering if the political 'elites' of the Wiemar Republic thought of Hitler and the Nazis as a 'flame out' party like Trump was thought of in the first few months of the 2015 GOP primaries. I am curious at how much of a shock the 1930 and later July 1932 election was.
You'd like looking up for "Der gerade Weg" (The right way). It was a newspaper edited by Franz Gehrlich in the 1930s which fiercely opposed Nationalsocialism. In the internet you can find much of the content prior to its ban and Gehrlich's arrest by the Nazis in 1933. I think the political satirical illustrations might fit into the sort of critique you are asking about. I'd link it here but I'm in a hurry right now. Also I don't remember if there's any of it available in english, (assuming that you can't understand german; otherwise there will be no problem finding it online).
