L'ART DE MENTIR - The Art of Lying - A small guide for use by all practitioners of the delicate art of lying, illustrated with a few selected examples from the "Masters of the World" Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, published by the Anglo-American Advertising and Information Bureau. French. Anti-Nazi rare publication of the Allies [1944].

A booklet of anti-Nazi cartoons in color, accompanied by quotes from the proclamations made by Hitler and Goebbels on various occasions, regarding their military intentions towards European countries and exposing their lies one by one. The quote appears in black letters, and exposing the lie in red letters. Alongside the lies are cartoons mocking Hitler in color. For example, the pamphlet opens with a quote from Hitler's lie in May 1935: "Germany has no intention whatsoever to interfere in Austria's internal affairs, annex it or carry out annexation" - and the well-known fact that in March 1938 Hitler invaded Austria, etc. The edges of the cover are shaped in swastikas in the guise of a booklet issued by the Nazis themselves in order to reach German hands.

35 p. 16 cm. Very good condition.
