Sozialistische Warte

Even before Adolf Hitler's rise to power, the ISK was actively publishing in French and English for readers in France, Britain and the United States. Four periodicals were later published during its Parisian exile alone. Willi Eichler served as the editor, after he was exiled from Nazi Germany and forced to stop publishing Der Funke. Under the known pseudonyms Werner Buchholz, Ernst Friesius, and Martin Hart, Eichler wrote many editorials, as well as other shorter pieces. From March 1936, SW featured the discussion forum (English: Free Socialist Tribune). Unlike the Reinhart Letters, which appeared during the same period, complete anonymity was not employed; instead, articles were widely published under known pseudonyms. The average print run was 2,000 copies, some of which were printed on Bible paper as a disguise, with a special cover "" (English: "Voice of the Times") and altered headlines. The periodical was never profitable, rather it was a total loss for the publishers because a large portion of the print run had to be distributed free of charge. Attracting new subscribers during this period was difficult, and a functioning distribution network was nonexistent. == Notable contributors ==
