Die Pause, 1941 NS-Kulturzeitschrift, Ing. Hanns Blaschke
Die Pause magazine was by far the largest and most prestigious photo feature magazine published in Greater Germany’s second largest city, Wien, by Vienna’s Vice-Mayor Ing. Hanns Blaschke (shown below).

Blaschke was an early member of the Austrian Nazi Party (when it was still illegal) and was a member of the SS. With the Anschluss, in September 1938 he became the head of the newly created Kulturamt der Stadt Wien (Culture Office of the City of Vienna) and on 30 December 1943 Reichsstatthalter Baldur von Schirach named him Mayor of Vienna.
