Description

Axis propaganda. Here are five of more than one hundred exhibits which Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War information, displayed to the press at a conference on March 6, 1943, to tell how the OWI was fighting the Axis on the propaganda front. In this collection appear NIPPON, a widely-circulated Japanese propaganda magazine; SIGNAL, the Nazi magazine which in many languages is widely distributed in neutral countries; YAMATO, a magazine lauding the Japanese published by the Italians; HITLER CODICA EL MUNDO, an expose of Hitler in Spanish by Hermann Rauschnigg and FREEDOM, the Japanese propaganda organ which ironically, displays a picture of American prisoners of war on the cover
