Vogue will not be published for the time being

"Schlösser has arrived back from Vienna. I put him straight into action against ideological dance. He must take far-reaching steps to eliminate this evil. Dance must speak to the senses, and not to the intellect. Otherwise it is no longer dance, but philosophy. In that case, I would rather read Schopenhauer than go to the theatre.

Schmidtke reports on France. The mood there is improving by leaps and bounds. Our campaign is beginning to have an effect; everyone is delighted by it. Schmidtke wants to protect the Paris fashion industry. I refuse. We must take a leading role in this field and not be troubled by inferiority complexes. Thus Vogue will not be published for the time being."

The Goebbels Diaries, 11 October 1940.
