Resistance against the National Socialist dictatorship is brutally suppressed. The opposition has to fear for their lives. Murnau SPD and KPD members are also deported to the Dachau concentration camp. Protests can often only take place in secret. The National Socialists always claim that the "national community" stands behind Hitler. But an anonymous postcard to the mayor of Murnau in 1935 shows otherwise: "The way in which a number of party bigwigs are running the Aryan scam in order to be able to use the Jews as scapegoats when their own pig-business has brought everything to ruin is scandalous. The fact that German men are being led by the nose by a scoundrel like Streicher and are hanging up signs against the Jews in public is a cultural disgrace and also an anti-Christian rape of minorities that violates international law and which will make us despised as barbarians all over the world. The consequences will be: the collapse of the economy and the currency. Or don't you know that you can buy a Register Mark abroad for just 40 Pfennigs? You are cheated and lied to every day by a bunch of party bigwigs and who will pay the bill? The 'dear people' who are allowed to pay taxes but are immediately locked up when they remember their dignity and want to have a free opinion. Poor Germany! And you are helping to bring about its collapse!"
