On the 25th July 1937, Neuer Jugend changed its name to Der Rundlick, though for a while the magazine displayed both names before becoming just Der Rundblick from the 1st October 1937 onwards. Once Germany was at war, the magazine, now with the added reassuring subhead, Das Illustrierte Familienblatt (The Illustrated Family Newspaper) written boldly across the cover, the editorial took on a war footing, concentrating more and more on war coverage and the war effort. The cover picture shows a submarine - with the headline and text: Submarine departs - Engines and weapons are carefully checked, a final salute to the remaining comrades - and off we go on a new patrol!'. Der Rundblick was one of numerous weekly publications at that time which covered topical events, art, film, fashion, celebrity and lifestyle with a strong National Socialist slant
