    Anti Jewish Leaflet...Election 1927? (Not intended as a touchy subject)

    Can anyone shed some light on this leaflet please? By chance I came across it today along with some other documents. (I know it is a touchy subject for some and I have no wish to get involved in the racist side of things).
    I believe the leaflet is associated with the election in Austria which was conducted on the 24th April 1927....but is that possible? The anti Jewish tone is quite clear, and Hitler is clearly mentioned as well as the obvious link to the Nazi Party.
    Wikipedia states.........
    Parliamentary elections were held in Austria on 24 April 1927. The result was a victory for the Unity List (Einheitsliste), an alliance of the Christian Social Party and the Greater German People's Party, which won 85 of the 165 seats.
    .........is this the election associated with the pamphlet??
    Any information about the leaflet would be most appreciated as all I want to do is sell it when I know what it is!
    The leaflet is in quite poor condition with damaged edges and yellowed as can be seen in the scans, but all the text is good and clear, ......(with the edges trimmed the leaflet would be quite presentable). It measures approx. 30 x 20 cms (12 x 8 ins).
    Thanks in advance,
    Terry.

    In the General Election of 1930, the Social Democrats were the largest single party. The Christian Social Party came second but stayed in office in a coalition with smaller parties. The Austrian National Socialists linked to Hitler's NSDAP received only 3.6% of the votes and failed to enter Parliament. In the following years the Nazis gained votes at the expense of the various German national groups, which also wanted unity with Germany. After 1930 Hitler’s NSDAP doubled its membership every year because of the economic crisis. One of their slogans was, "500,000 Unemployed – 400,000 Jews – Simple way out; vote National Socialist".
