Das Reich var en ugeavis grundlagt af Joseph Goebbels, Nazi-Tysklands propagandaminister. Den var mere ”intellektuel” og ”analyserende” (hvis de ord kan bruges) end Völkischer Beobachter.  Den indeholdt essays om kultur,boganmeldelser og analytiske nyhedsrapporter, men var ikke mindre anti-semitisk. Den dyrkede den konventionelt naturalistiske billedkunst, og især kunst med nationalt indhold. Den kritiserede stærkt andre kunstretninger: ekspressionismen, dadaismen, kubismen etc. Disse kunstretninger blev under ét betegnet som Entartete Kunst – degenereret, dekadent kunst.

Der blev indført censur og ikke mindre end 17.000 kunstværker blev fjernet fra 101 museer. Museumsfolk blev afskediget og kunstskoler lukket. Følgende kunstnere var blandt de censurerede og ”degenererede”: Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, George Grosz, Otto Dix, Max Beckmann, Paul Klee og Marc Chagall.

Das Reich was a weekly newspaper founded by Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister. It was more “intellectual” and “analytical” (insofar as such terms can be used) than the daily newspaper, Völkischer Beobachter. It contained essays on culture, book reviews and analytical news reports but was strong anti-Semitic. It cultivated the conventional naturalistic pictorial art, and especially art with national content. It strongly criticized other art forms: Expressionism, Dadaism, Cubism, etc. These art forms were collectively referred to as Entartete Kunst – degenerate, decadent art. Censorship was introduced and no less than 17,000 works of art were removed from 101 museums. Museum staff were fired and art schools closed. The following artists were among the censored and “degenerate”: Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, George Grosz, Otto Dix, Max Beckmann, Paul Klee and Marc Chagall.
