The Social Democratic newspaper Münchener Post published articles challenging the suicide verdict after Geli Raubal's death. The Nazi Party responded not by providing exculpatory evidence — which would have been the most effective rebuttal to damaging press coverage — but by suing the newspaper for libel and using the legal proceedings to suppress further reporting. If the official suicide verdict was accurate and the Party had genuine forensic evidence to support it, what would have been the strategically superior response to the Münchener Post's reporting, and why does the Party's actual choice suggest something different?
