3. Wikipedia: Das Politdrama „Schlageter“ wurde am 20. April 1933, dem Geburtstag Adolf Hitlers, im Staatstheater am
Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin in Anwesenheit von Hitler und hochrangigen Vertretern der NSDAP, der Wehrmacht und aus
Kunst und Literatur uraufgeführt. Der „Völkische Beobachter“ nannte das Stück »das erste Drama der deutschen
Revolution«. Das Stück wurde zu einem großen Erfolg für den Autor, auch in finanzieller Hinsicht.

41. • Obsolete modes of access
• Journal prestige correlates with unreliability
• No scientific impact analysis
• Suboptimal peer-review
• Massive transparency issues
• No effective sort, filter and discover solution
• No functional hyperlinks
• Static data visualizations
• No content mining
• No social component
• No global search
• Hardly any user statistics
• etc.
