Breakthrough - "a German gaga Polish-language sociopolitical biweekly published by the Propaganda Office of the General Government [...], at its peak reaching a circulation of 200,000 pieces. The editor-in-chief of 'Przełom' was Jan Emil Skiwski. In addition to Skiwski, Feliks Burdecki and Jerzy de Nissau contributed their texts to the biweekly. It is interesting to note that 'Przełom' resembled underground newspapers in its layout and was distributed by dropping it off in mailboxes and sold by distributors on the streets. The idea was to create the impression that it was a "purely Polish" newspaper and was not published by the Germans. The content of "Przełom" was anti-communist, calling for a joint struggle with the Germans against the Soviets and calling for the defense of the biological substance of the Polish nation against German repression, by stopping anti-German sabotage which, according to the magazine's editors, caused disproportionate losses among the civilian population. Significantly, there were no anti-Polish texts in the magazine and the authors sometimes criticized the Germans" (Wikipedia).
