"Es is nie so waansinnig oorlog te verlang nie ... Hitler". Pretoria, c - 1942. Africanus.
An anti-Nazi propaganda booklet published by the United States government after joining the Allied forces in World War II in Africa. During the war, the pro-German underground organization "Ossewabrandwag" was established in South Africa. It was an anti-British organization that operated in secret cells in South Africa and gained support among the meager population. The publication before us by the Allies intended to convey to the general public in South Africa the truth about Hitler and the German Reich, make them not join the pro-German underground organizations.
Each pair of pages in the booklet consists of a photograph expressing Nazi policy on the left, and a photograph of its devastating results on the right. In the accompanying captions are quotations from Adolf Hitler himself and the Reich leaders, as well as quotations from journalist reports on the progress of the Reich army and the crimes of Nazi Germany, bringing important information to the African population with emphasis on its devastating results in Africa. Each pair of pages is surrounded by a large red swastika shaped frame.
