All these periodicals are of Nationalist-Socialist ideology. However, Der Stuermer is notoriously known for its vulgar and barbaric antisemitism, while the Illustrative Observer and The Siren are typical Nazi-German publications glorifying the regime and oriented on the support of German military cause.
Der Stürmer (the Attacker) was a weekly tabloid-format Nazi newspaper published by Julius Streicher (a prominent official in the Nazi Party) from 1923 to the end of the Second World War, with brief suspensions in publication due to legal difficulties. It was a significant part of Nazi propaganda and was vehemently antisemitic. Unlike the Völkischer Beobachter (translatable as The People's Observer), the official party paper which gave itself an outwardly serious appearance, Der Stürmer often ran obscene material such as antisemitic caricatures of Jews and accusations of blood libel, plus sexually explicit, anti-Catholic, anti-Communist, anti-capitalist and anti-monarchist propaganda also too.
The newspaper originated at Nuremberg during Hitler's attempt to establish power and control. During the struggle to achieve power, Streicher was accused by the opposition of the Nazi party as being "a liar, a coward, of having unsavory friends, mistreating his wife and of flirting with women". Despite the accusations, the first copy of Der Stürmer was published April 20, 1923. Der Stürmer’s circulation grew over time, distributing to a large percentage of the German population as well as Argentina, Brazil, Canada and the United States.
Between August 1941 and September 1944, Streicher authorized articles demanding the annihilation and extermination of the Jewish race. After the war, he was convicted of crimes against humanity and executed.
Illustrierter Beobachter (Illustrated Observer) was an illustrated propaganda magazine published by the German National Socialist Party. It was published from 1926 to 1945 in Munich, and edited by Hermann Esser.
It began as a monthly publication and its first issue showed members of the Bamberger Nationalist Party of a Jewish Synagogue and denounced Jacob Rosny Rosenstein, a potential Nobel Laureate as a "disgrace to German culture". Special editions denounced England and France for starting the war.

Extremely antisemitic, Der Stuermer also took a harsh satiric approach to internationla politics as well. Der Stuermer strongly exploated the theory of "world Jewish conspiracy."
Illustrierter Beobachter (The Illustrative Observer) largerly reflected on the triumph of National Socialism in all spheres of life. It also explicitely criticized and revealed life behind the scene in the USSR. The periodical also took a highly negative stand with regard to the international commmunist movement.
Die Sirene (The Siren) was a lesser political enagaged magazine. It reflected the German and world politics and was of a rather leisure reading.

Nazi sympathetic publication, Der Stuermer, is an example of yellow journalism (lack of credibility) in order to stir antisemitism in Nazi Germany preceding World War II. Editor and founder Julius Streicher commisioned cartoonist Philipp Rupprecht, 'Fips', to draw antisemitic caricatures. The cartoon attributed to the cover page depicts Jews as 'Gangsters', and articles highlight crimes committed by Jews.
To make up for the lack of factual news, Der Stuermer continuously printed articles and photographs of German citizens 'supporting' the publication.
A unique article from this news release covers an all-Russian antisemitic march in Manchukuo.
The Nazi Party's weekly illustrated newspaper entitled, Illustrierter Beobachter (Ilustrative Observer), published pro-National Socialist slanted articles regarding the advancement of Nazi sentiment and military. The periodical is mostly image-based and text is used solely for caption descriptions of the images. The Nazi periodical was published between 1934--1945.
This specific issued of Illustrierter Beobachter from March 20, 1938 highlights the 'liberation of Austria' as Nazi troops occupied Austria in what is known as the Anschluss.

The illustrative perodical also includes images from womens rights/child labor movements in England, Spain, and USA, relating their protests against imperialism, child labor, and lack of womens rights, to Bolshevism sentiment.
Imagery from a communist militia's attack on the Carmelite monastery in Madrid (Spain) is documented as a Communist problem in the Spanish Civil War.

ca. 1937
Die Sirene (The Siren) was a Nazi German military-based periodical during the pre-WWII era. This issue was released on 24 November, 1936.
Die Sirene's primary motive was to promote the advancement of Nazi German military strength, as the cover story delves into an illustrated article about the strength and honor related to the German RLB, or Reichsluftschutzbunde (Reich Air Protection Association). Initially, the RLB was a voluntary organization staffed by hundreds of volunteers, glorified in their service on page 655 of this issue of Die Sirene. With heightened militarization, by 1935 (one year before this issue was printed), membership in the RLB became obligatory for nearly all Germans. This issue seems to convey that service in the RLB makes a man "great" and proud to serve Germany in its military efforts.
A following article entitled, "Experiences of an American Soldier", discusses America's military occupation and overseeing of the Panama Canal. The article, along with images, observes the diversity of American military weaponry and military formations used to guard the American post. A caption tells that Americans anticipate an attack by air rather than by sea.
An additional article discusses the transformation of European colonial rule in Africa and India, from the spectrum of 17th Century to 1936.
This issue of Die Sirene (The Siren) continues its propaganda glorifying German military and the Reichsluftschutzbund, or German National Air Raid Protection League. Articles discuss RLB uniforms, and the RLB at work to reduce damages from an air raid test.
A seperate article discusses Sino-German relations, regarding trade and diplomatic relations.
An additional article reports on British troop shortage and its propagandic effort to enlist British men into the British forces.
