Volkswacht (Danzig)

Volkswacht ('People's Guard') was a social democratic newspaper published in Danzig, Germany (present-day Gdańsk, Poland) from 1910 to 1919.

[2] The newspaper masthead carried the slogan Organ für die werktätige Bevölkerung in Westpreußen ('Organ of the toiling population in West Prussia').

[6] Due to financial difficulties the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) had lacked an organ of its own in Danzig for a long time.

[9] On political issues the article material largely consisted of reprints from the SPD central organ Vorwärts.

[10] Julius Gehl became editor of Volkwacht in 1917[11] with Walter Reek heading the press commission.
