In 1934, Joseph Goebbels published this propaganda book featuring more than 600 illustrations - an important part of the relentless barrage of National Socialist propaganda. Goebbels stated, "Berlin was lost to the Reich. It lived its own frivolous life." He flatters the Berliner with his "Icke" mentality: When a Berliner brusquely asks a policeman in Vienna for directions to St. Stephen's Cathedral and the officer suggests he approach more kindly and amiably, the Berliner replies, "I'd rather not!" Goebbels describes the Berliner as "possessing a refreshing disrespect for the fuss surrounding an inflated zero." The master of National Socialist demagoguery knows exactly how to connect with the Berliner and win him over. This scientifically and critically annotated edition is suitable for anyone who wants to understand.
