Talk:Hans Lachmann-Mosse

Nazi takeover
The historian Bernard Wasserstein has a marginally different account of the Nazi takeover of the family's newspapers:

''Hans Lachmann-Mosse, head of the Mosse press and advertising conglomerate, which owned several major papers, including the liberal Berliner Tageblatt, left Germany shortly after Hitler attained power. He was enticed back a few weeks later by a personal assurance of safe conduct from Hermann Goering. When he returned to Berlin, the press baron was forced at gunpoint to sign over all his German assets to a supposed foundation to benefit war veterans. He was then escorted to the French frontier by the chief of the Gestapo.''

This is taken from Wasserstein's 2012 publication, On the Eve, The Jews of Europe before the Second world War. Thomas Peardew (talk) 13:21, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
