“Недељни преглед” – “Weekly Review.” Pocket booklet – Pro-Nazi propaganda disguised as news reporting, depicting the failures of the Allies in managing the war and their defeat in the war against the Axis powers. [Serbia, early 1940s]. Serbian. Extremely rare.
Describes how the police disperse a delegation of 40 trade union organizations arriving to meet with Churchill; during Roosevelt’s election campaign he promised: “Mothers and fathers, I promise you that I will never send your sons to any foreign war” – opposite appears an illustration of piles of American corpses killed in the Battle of Saint-Lô. In American munitions factories, employers are growing rich at the expense of their workers and their families. Tensions between Turkey and the Soviet Union mark the Middle East as the next target for conquest. Churchill caused the leader of the Italian people, Badoglio, to lie on the radio by declaring that he would attack Germany (Marshal Pietro Badoglio served as Prime Minister of Italy after Mussolini’s fall). In Dublin, the Irish removed the statue of Queen Victoria of England, as they preferred to forget the slavery and persecution they suffered during the hundred-year struggle for independence.
On the last page of the booklet, the inevitable conclusion: “Will the Serbian people be wise enough to choose their allies correctly” – the implied message being to align with Nazi Germany against the Allies.
Extremely rare. Not listed in the WorldCat global library catalog.
