Nazi women : Nazi women’s magazines blaming Brits for WWII to be auctioned
Nazi women : Nazi women’s magazines blaming Brits for WWII to be auctioned
Creepy.
Maybe Obama will buy it for his kids.
The same creepy feeling when I read anything by the MSM, watch anything on the MSM news, listen to the current crop of commies in DC, or listen to their spin (paying high taxes is “patriotic”).
Michelle might like it too.
Mr Westwood-Brookes said: “The way in which the propaganda machine worked, it went to everybody right the way down to almost babes in arms.”
Kind of like CNN...
How would you like this staring back at you on a supermarket checkout line?
Look at the "edgey" journalism of the radical Left in the 1960s "counterculture" and again the pro-Sandanista 1980s zines and the "extreme" alternative zines of the 1990s.
Today they blog every apolitical forum and crush anyone speaks a bit of conservativism.
Same agit prop techniques have been carried on by the Left.
See that Che movie yet? Buy the t-shirt at Urban Outfitters? How about the Obama shirt? The art print? He's marvey.
"As you turn through these pages you get an incredibly creepy feeling about these magazines as you realise they are not what they appear to be," the Telegraph quoted the firm's historical documents expert Richard Westwood-Brookes as saying." He corroborates, "It shows the Nazi machine was so well-oiled it infiltrated every single area of human society"."It's a frighteningly cunning way to get everyone thinking along the same lines, women would get together to talk about things and this would be how these messages spread," he added.
No, Frauen-Warte cannot mean "Women, Wait." That's because "warte" is the imperative singular - and, like in English, there would have to be a comma after the verb.
Rather, "Warte" (capitalized!) means "station, "vantage point," etc.
Ich betrachte das von meiner Warte aus.

I would hope the buyer would scan them and make the PDFs available online somewhere.
These are historical documents of a sort.
There was propaganda in WW2?? Who knew? Check out a LIFE magazine from 42-45.
