Just a couple of comments about the print in this post : http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/572964-post14.html (post 14).

1) The figure standing to Hitler's right is an idealized portrait of Ernst Rohm. In reality Rohm was fatter, older and more dissipated looking. This means it was printed prior to 1934, when Hitler ordered Rohm's death, and lethally purged the SA ranks.
2) In the lower right corner of the print is the publisher's mark: J.F.S. i. E., for J. F. Schreiber of Esslingen on Neckar. It also says "Printed in Germany" in English, suggesting that the print was intended for export.
Therefore, Schreiber-Verlag published Nazi propaganda that was intended for international distribution.
Schreiber-Verlag was founded by Jakob Friedrich Ferdinand Schreiber in 1831. The Schreiber family sold its interest in Schreiber-Verlag in 1988, the publishing house is now part of Thienemann-Esslinger Verlags.
