Die Innere Front

Die Innere Front (The Home Front) was a series of clandestine and illegal leaflets written and distributed by a group of communist resistance fighters from the Neukölln area of Berlin that were associated with the Red Orchestra ("Rote Kapelle") during World War II. The leaflet was produced twice-weekly on a hectograph machine and translated in five languages, with each version having the byline "Campaign for a new free Germany". Communist Party of Germany (KPD) members that included the American journalist John Sieg along with the German printer Herbert Grasse, established the production of the leaflet from December 1941 onwards. It is considered the main organ of the Red Orchestra as many of them contributed to it.
