“Nudity is one of largest threats for German culture and morality. It is therefore expected that the police forces take all possible measures –in support of the intellectual powers, developed by the national movement–to root out this so-called culture of the nude. The naturist sites should be controlled as severely as possible. If swimming facilities or grounds have been put at their disposal, the owners should be influenced in such a way that they end the contract.”
(Berlin, 3 March 1933)
German naturist clubs are dissolved and naturist literature in bookshops and libraries is destroyed. All German-speaking naturist magazines are forbidden, with the exception of one, FKK und Lebensreform, which survived the Nazi-era under three different names to the end of 1943 when it suspended publication due to lack of paper.
Fortunately for the naturist movement, the documents pertaining to the origins and early years of the European Union for Free Body Culture (EUFK) had a narrow escape from the public fires of 10th May 1933. Thanks to Therese Mulhause-Vogeler's efforts they had been sent off to Mr Martin of the Gymnic Association of Great Britain.

Naturist magazines re-appeared in the spring of 1949, after a 16-year ban. In the same year the German Naturist Federation was established in Kassel under the leadership of Karlwilli Damm.
