Lustige Welt and Lustige Blätter Magazines (Item PROP 2-1)
|
| DESCRIPTION: Here are another three dynamic issues of the Lustige series of state-of-the-art propaganda “funny papers” of the Third Reich era. Clever propaganda always has a ring of truth whether its axis or allied. These magazines had their share of prophetic cartoon scenarios. Yes, they are crude, but effective! This is a particularly good group with lots of propaganda oldies, but goodies!
PRICE: SOLD

Two Issues of Lustige Blätter, Funny Papers (Item PROP 2-2)
|
| DESCRIPTION: These are two copies—1938, 1939—of Lustige Blätter. These were from the time while it was just as the name implies (a comic book; more or less). Even though the issue 1939 was the year of the outbreak of the war the magazine refrained from anti-British propaganda. It just concentrated on cartoons and pretty girls. Look at the one with the two gals in semi-dirndls of the best sort! Even the little king (Kleine König) made the pages before the war got vicious. These are actually rarer than the 1940s issues.

Lustige Blätter, Funny Papers (Item PROP 2-3)
|
| DESCRIPTION: Here is another threesome of Lustige Blätter, Germany’s WWII premier propaganda weekly. These are probably the greatest of all magazines of this type ever available. Today, they are scarce as hen’s teeth and you just don’t ever see them. We were lucky enough to procure a whole collection of them from a source in Germany. They were a collection of some 40 years in the making and in all our years at this we have never seen more than one or two ever offered in this field. They are delightful in their messages, but as we have stated, history is a continuum and we are seeing much of what is represented here repeating before our very eyes. The last thumbnail in our images is a classic; pictures are worth a thousand words! The depictions of Franklin and Eleanor are great, also. There may be a few misguided souls that actually agree with what is depicted here. Tsk, tsk; shame on you.

Lustige Blätter, Funny Papers (Item PROP 2-5)
|
| DESCRIPTION: This out of all the Lustige Blätter magazines that we offer would stack as the best of all of them by far the juiciest of the comic-style wartime propaganda. They are loaded with great anti- this and anti- that. Read some of the other write-ups about the others and you will get the idea and have a good general view of what the prevalent ideas of the German nation’s perceptions were. I would think it prudent to say that we don’t particularly agree with many of the conceptions (prudent!), at least prudent now in 1984 plus, but we have to admire the candor and wit of these early cartoonists. These magazines were put together in the midst of the terrible war years. It is only natural that the Germans might not think very higher of those allied uninvited guests on the soil of Europe. Well, here you can see just what they thought!

Two Copies of Fliegende Blätter and a Copy of Lustige Blätter (Item PROP 2-6)
|
| DESCRIPTION: Here are two issues of Fliegende Blätter, Flying Pages; and a special copy of Lustige Blätter, Funny Papers. These were Germany’s premier propaganda comic books. Read about other issues on these pages. We believe both magazines were published by the same press group no doubt without the approval of Doctor Goebbels. In any case, the cartoons are wonderfully presented and funny indeed, but also prophetic as I have earlier said. This is a rare group as all the previous are, as well.
PRICE: SOLD

Lustige Blätter, Funny Papers (Item PROP 2-7)
|
| DESCRIPTION: Here are three of the best of the Lustige Blätter magazines printed in the 1940s. As is usual with these great satire magazines the anti-American, -Russian, and -British rhetoric is blatant, but is truly revisionist in a way also. Almost every one of the cartoons is recognizable to its message, even to those who don’t read German (Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words.) The meaning, the message, and the truths or exaggerations are evident throughout. They are in a word “great” and a great addition to an archival grouping or library. There will be no more when these are gone unless your writer feels compelled to recognize the similarity of the world’s enemies and decides to write and draw.

Lustige Blätter, Funny Papers (Item PROP 2-8)
|
| DESCRIPTION: Here are three more issues of the world’s greatest propaganda comic books from WWII. These are vintage 1940s issues. They are more than 65 years old, but except for a page missing in very few of them and a rip or tear here and there they are in remarkably great condition. We have in previous write-ups demonstrated that these things are practically prophetic in the that history is a continuum and yesterdays reds are now the neocons of today and their plans are just as genocidal and nefarious as some of the characters depicted in tongue-and-cheek humor here. Anyway, the “Komik Zeitung” we offer here are both rare and historically important.

May 19, 1938, Edition of Ken Magazine (blatant and scurrilous anti-Axis propaganda of the lowest form imaginable) (Item PROP 2-10; ENGBOOKS 1-4)
|
|
DESCRIPTION: Here is one of the most scandalous publications ever produced in the U.S. It’s a rare edition in fairly good shape except the front cover shows a fold mark down the center. This issue is from 1938. We call your attention to the fact that all too often such magazines—in fact most—of the leftist media supported the Roosevelt administration when it was in power and that was very much the case with Ken. One would think this yellow-rag journal was printed in Roosevelt’s White House “basement”! It is no different today when it comes to demonizing those leaders and individuals that the in-crowd in Washington seeks to destroy. It was true then and true now and the press jumps to supporting tyrannical leaders such as Bush and Cheney in their genocidal regime-change machinations. We remind you again that this was published in May 1938 and, as Roosevelt’s loyal whores, the staff of Ken kicks off its master’s provocations against Germany, Italy, and especially at that time, Japan. It’s known by revisionist historians and other historic researchers that Roosevelt and his cronies were even then provoking Japan in the hopes that the administration in Japan would finally feel insulted enough that hopefully they would take a preemptive strike against the U.S. thereby giving that Red-influenced administration the chance to get into the fight alongside of Churchill against Germany. This is today borne out by the Gestapo files of Heinrich Müller where the conversations of the mentally unbalanced Roosevelt and the continually intoxicated Churchill map out these Machiavellian plans that were actually devised by aliens that pulled the strings on these two evil puppets. Queen Victoria’s Prime Minister Disraeli said “Governments do not govern . . . .” So, dear historian or collector, here is a chance to obtain a real piece of rare WWII propaganda that was a harbinger of the disastrous war brought to us by the socialist Red-leaning president that cost over 50 million lives. Is it possible we might presently have another warmonger getting ready to challenge that number and to exceed it? The magazine has 107 pages produced in Chicago (where else?). It’s chock full of the most blatant propaganda right from the cover to the last page. The cover is a declaration of war in itself! Here you see the “sneaky slant-eyed Jap” with his camera getting ready to photograph our various defense systems for Japan’s eventual “invasion” of the U.S. Under this is the potent message “UNDERHANDED UNDERGROUND JAPAN.” With such prevarications so proclaimed, is it any wonder that innocent Japanese people were later incarcerated in concentration camps? We have attempted to show a little bit of this sick propaganda in the pages of this slick magazine. Let it be an early illustration of what continues today unabated.

Two Rare Newspapers from the German-Occupied British Channel Islands (Item PROP 2-11; WEHR 35-11)
|
| DESCRIPTION: Here are two vintage newspapers from the German-occupied Channel Island Guernsey one dated December 16, 1943; the other July 12, 1944. One of them is headed Guernsey Evening Press and the other is The Star. The occupation of the British Crown dependencies was from 30 June 1940 until 9 May 1945. Contrary to the British misinformation bandied about today, in most cases, the German troops treated the citizenry in an exceptionally chivalrous manner. These soldiers acted as practically paragons of gentlemanly conduct. This was due to the command decision from the highest ranking Wehrmacht administration, but it was hardly necessary since the islanders seemed to quickly befriend the Soldaten and vice versa. They practically hit it off from day one! Anticipating a swift victory over Britain, the German occupiers experimented by using a very gentle approach that set the theme for the next five years. The island authorities adopted a similar attitude, giving rise to questionable accusations of collaboration. However, as time and the war progressed the situation grew gradually worse, ending in near starvation for both occupied and occupiers during the winter of 1944-45. Adolf Hitler always believed that the English people were racial kin of the Germans. That is precisely why he held back the German troops and panzers at Dunkirk, although WWII could have been won right there on that the beach. Wouldn’t it follow that Brits would be treated especially well in the Island occupation? The two extremely rare newspapers are chock full on the front pages of praise for Germany’s struggle against the true world menace, Bolshevism, a world scourge—then and now! On the edition of the evening news, 1944, the headline reads: “GERMANY’S FIGHTING SPIRIT IS UNBROKEN” and it also features the famous “why we fight” speech by Dr. Goebbels mentioned in the article. The paper measures 12 x 13 inches and although a bit yellowed with age it otherwise is in good condition. How many of these could have survived these 75 or more years? The other paper The Star has a headline that reads “Soviets Flung from Many Positions, Success for Germans in Fierce Fighting.” Another article announces that “Anglo-Americans Drop Bombs in Toys, Many Children Victims in Sofia Raid.” This paper is also in fairly good condition, but after 75 years of being folded it is remarkable that it is still with us. It’s replete with pro-German articles and Communist and anti-British and American themes. The long-established newspapers in the island fully and willingly supported Germany in its war against the Allies right to the end. The newspapers obviously reflected the feelings of the populace in general. “The enemy of my enemy (Communism) is my friend.” Isn’t that the way it goes?
PRICE: $125.00; for both papers together; quite a bargain considering their obvious rarity.
