Tarnschriften

{{lang|de|Tarnschriften}} (German: camouflaged publications) were a way to avoid censorship in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. Illegal writings were given an innocent-looking cover and first and last pages.[http://www.iisg.nl/archives/en/files/t/11085433.php IISG] The Communist Party of Germany published about 80% of the camouflaged publications.[http://www.arbark.se/2004/03/kamouflageskrifter/ Arbark] An estimated 900–1000 publications were issued with up to 40,000 copies printed per title.[http://www.iisg.nl/collections/tarnschriften.php IISG]{{fcn|date=August 2022}} Most of the publications were written for Germany, but there were also volumes for Spain and Norway, where a speech by Joseph Stalin was given the title {{lang|no|italic=no|"Hvordan kan potetene bevares mot frost"}} ("How to protect potatoes from frost").
