Communist Party—Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands, or KPD—goes underground and produces leaflets that agitate for the overthrow of Hitler’s regime. After the Gestapo shuts down a slew of basement printing operations run by KPD cells in Germany, production is moved to secret facilities in France, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Between 1933 and 1935, the KPD produces over a million leaflets a year.
