Berlin: Brunner Verlag & Willi Bischoff, 1943. First Edition. A fascinating propaganda photo-book from 1943. Anti-American photographs, depicting the USA as degenerate, full of poverty, unemployment, alcohol and sex, etc. Roosevelt is particularly mocked, and portrayed as getting the war he wanted. Reproductions of Dorothea Lange "Migrant Mother" and other documentary photos. The scarce dust wrapper (depicting a man stroking a showgirl on stage) is present, but in a bad way! Spine is almost entirely missing, and is held together by tape. Pale card boards with owner's bookplate to the front board. Text in German. Unpaginated. 250 x 180 mm (9¾ x 7 inches).
