This post makes no sense. Your both cases are an example where was too much "free speech" (preeches) and too few ( govermental fight against Stürmer)

I guess the analysis about Nazis in the Weimarer Republik are far more complex than a matter of free speech. It tells a lot that I never heard historians seriously discussing it in this context.

The preaching was free but the challenges were not due to blasphemy laws, thus more free speech would allow challenges, which we know reduces the problem of bad speech.

> It tells a lot that I never heard historians seriously discussing it in this context.

If you got the first part wrong then the second is only telling in the other direction.
