The Associated Press worked closely with Hitler and the Nazis during Germany's rise to power in the 1930s, an explosive new study titled "The A and P of Propaganda" claims.

The New York City-based news organization retained access to Berlin as it vowed not to publish any content "calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home," according to an article in the academic journal Studies in Contemporary History.

The collaboration included an offensive SS pamphlet entitled "The Sub-Human" that featured photographs from The Associated Press. Another twisted Nazi booklet "The Jews in the USA" prominently displayed an AP photo of New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.

During this time period the AP hired reporters who also worked for the Nazi propaganda division, German historian Harriet Scharnberg writes in the study obtained by the Guardian newspaper.
