Individual issues of Facts in Review are very, very hard to find of course, as no one in America wanted to be seen reading one after Germany declared war on the United States in December 1941. We have watched as occasional copies have turned up on auction sites like eBay and selling for as much as $50.00 each. A large, nearly complete lot of Facts in Review magazines such as we offer here, is virtually unobtainable today.
Facts in Review is the name of a Nazi magazine produced by the German Library of Information at 17 Battery Place in New York City prior to the start of WW2. The contents of each issue usually covers matters of politics, war, new products, movies, books, art, science, etc. Most issues contain a radio guide called Germany Calling, listing all the programs broadcast in German and English each day from Berlin to North America. Another regular feature is “What Germany Hears and Says”, an excellent recap of news from Germany written in superb English.
The center spread in many of the magazines features a photo display of something of which Germans were very proud, such as the Ordensburgen, the Reichsautobahn, Music in Germany, Synthetic Wool and Cotton, Germany’s Mountain Troops, War Against Cancer, Degenerate Art, the Germany Library of Information in New York, Synthetic Gasoline from Coal, Athletics in German Industrial Life, Building a New Berlin, Two Armistices at Compiègne, Popular German Magazines, Television in Germany - the Country of its Origin, Regeneration of German Agriculture, Handicrafts, No “English Disease” for these Babies, Contemporary German Sculpture, Blood Transfusions, Men who make the Luftwaffe, German Defense Fortifications in the West, the German Soldier in France, the Camera as a Weapon of War, Germany Past and Present, Lady Fencers, the Creator of the People’s Car, Air Defense in Germany, the Teutonic Order of Knights, the Hermann Göring Works, etc.
