    If anybody could find anything at all written in the 1930s saying it’s a KPD slogan, and not just people decades later calling it “well known” with no source and only in English with no explanation what it was in German, that would be really cool.

      “Warum versagten die Marxisten”, published 1934, mentions it as “Nach Hitler Kommen Wir”

      The pro-Nazi periodical “Deutschlands Erneuerung” also mentions it as a slogan of the KPD in 1933.

        I’ve found both of those before, the second one quotes it as “Herr Holtermann proudly predicted” so that doesn’t work.

        The first one based on Google Books is an unattributed chapter title, and searching doesn’t find any German words for slogan or motto in it. And Rudolf Olden is prominent enough that I think someone would have cited it by now if he had a KPD attribution in there.
