Daily newspaper, Office of Military government for Germany (U.S.)

This is an example of a periodical that could be made available for purchase from newspaper stands or book dealers like Gunther (in Zeizenburg, H&S). they may contain: - clues (articles, ads, "Wanted" posters, etc.), - overviews of political events (in this issue I used some of the "Time" magazine's archived articles (photos I got in many different places, including Wikipedia), meaning that the events described here indeed took place in the second half of December 1949, - weather changes (affecting the choice of clothes for the characters to enable them to operate without certain penalties, etc.

The "Massacre at Bogenschaffen" (T.H. base) article is the only one related to the game Hammer & Sickle. There could be more if I had a specific plot event that needed to be described or introduced.

The Communist and Nationalistic periodical could also be created allowing the player to learn about different perspectives and enter different branches/quests, examples: "Paranormal branch/large quest"(Ahnenerbe, mind control research, etc.), "Power branch"(pure "hack and slash"), "Gehlen Org. branch"(ex-nazis, CIA (Critchfield) - Nazi (Gehlen) connection, BND, Munich, Pullah ), "German Communists branch/large quest"(internal conflicts between Communists and Social Democrats in SED), "Neo-Nazi branch" Socialist Reich party, their paramilitary org. Reichsfront under the leadership of Generalmajor Remer and his cronies, "Mossad quests" (Israeli Intelligence Agency was formed on Dec13, 1949), British and French military publications could be imitated too. The possibilities are numerous.

The newspapers would permit the player to actively look for the information about the area he/she is in and the world.
