Völkischer Beobachter
In 1918, the Thule Society bought a local weekly newspaper, the "Münchener Beobachter" (Munich Observer), and changed its name to "Münchener Beobachter und Sportblatt" (Munich Observer and Sports Paper) in an attempt to improve its circulation. The "Münchener Beobachter" later became the "Völkischer Beobachter" (""Völkisch" Observer"), the main Nazi newspaper. It was edited by Karl Harrer.
