|
| The JB or ,,Illustrierter Beobachter’’ was the Nazi Party weekly photo newspaper published in München (Munich) by Verlag Franz Eher Nachfolger, but read by just about everybody, all over Germany. Each 10 x 14 inch issue contained about 24 pages of the very latest news, photographs and information gathered from around the world. The excellent paper was published every Thursday and sold for only 20 Reichspfennigs, the equivalent of 12 US cents. |
|
| The issues offered here are all the issues for the extremely historic second half of 1940 (4 July through 26 December) in a big heavy hard cover book-like binding. Because they were bound like a hard cover book all the issues are still in excellent condition. |

Naturally, Nazi Party Führer and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler is promnently featured in virtually every issue, seen in his role as leader of the government, but also in the field with the men of the Wehrmacht in his role as Chief of the Armed Forces. |
|
|
 |
|
| The other prominent Nazis are there too, from Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Reichsminister Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Baron von Neurath, Baldur von Schirach, Fritz Todt, Ritter von Epp, Benito Mussolini, etc. |

There are many anti-Semitic articles and cartoons. There is even a photo of a sign that the United States Embassy apparently installed on the residence of Katherine Rothschild in Paris stating in French, English and German that the owner of the property was an American! |
|
 |
|
| There are features on German movie stars, royalty and on foreign military strongmen.
Natural disasters and sports are well covered but of course, the big news of the day was that France had surrendered and Hitler himself was in Paris. There are hundreds of photos of German troops in uniform, in combat, weapons, aircraft, U-Boots, ships, tanks, vehicles, etc.
