According to German sources the newspaper was issued in 200 000 copies daily, but it was commonly boycotted by the Poles (often defaced with the Kotwica) and the numbers seem to be much overestimated.

In their stead, the German authorities established eight Polish language daily newspapers as part of their propaganda machine aimed at subjugated nations.

Apart from front line news, propaganda and overly optimistic reports on constant successes of the German Wehrmacht, the newspaper featured a collection of sensational crime stories, astrology, gossip columns and such.

Other popular nicknames include Kurwar (abbreviation of the title, but also a pun on the Polish word "kurwa" - whore) and "szmatławiec" (Rag-journal).
