Vintage postcard: World exposition 1937
An interesting postcard from the world exposition - Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne - in Paris 1937. The Nazi-German pavilion on the left placed directly across the Stalin-Soviet pavilion on the right. Talk about premonition of things to come.
Uploaded to Vintage photographs by h rust
The German pavilion was designed by Albert Speer (and sculptor Josef Thorak) and the Soviet pavilion by Boris Mihailovich Iofan (and sculptor Vera Mukhina). Need I say they both were awarded the gold medal?
Please go here for more postcards and photos from the exposition!

Blog: The Groovy Age of Horror
The Groovy Age of Horror has been doing a lot about Naziploitation (Nazi exploitation). I guess that the concept means pulp books, comics and films with a Nazi theme. Sex and violence are the other two main ingredients. Sometimes it makes pure porn with Nazis exploiting their dominating position. If this, for whatever reason, sounds interesting you know where to go.

A Nazi-Indian?!
No, no, no! This papier-mâché Native American is probably greeting us with non-political intent.
Come join Tim, Tom and Pia and let's go over to grandma's for some papier-mâché making. What better to do on a rainy day? I believe it's a Polish book (Swedish edition) and it's printed in 1969. It has lots of colourful and fun stuff typical of it's time. You can find some scans of it here.

At Least I Never Played With These
Yes, you are right - this is a re-post. So what?! More re-posts if they are this good!
Prussian Blue
"IS THERE ANYTHING CUTER than two identical twin twelve-year-old girls who have a band together? How about if they dress in matching plaid skirts—that ups the cuteness quotient, right? And what if they perform folky versions of classic racist songs by bands like Skrewdriver and Rahowa?"

Charlie and His Orchestra
"In the 1930's the Nazis had a love/hate relationship with swing music. They outlawed it on their homefront, throwing it into the category of "degenerate" art. But at the same time, they employed it in the service of the fatherland. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, assembled a fairly competent swing band called Charlie and His Orchestra to perform Nazified versions of the jazz hits of the day. Led by an English speaking German, Karl Schwendler, Charlie and His Orchestra broadcast on the medium-wave and short-wave bands throughout the 1930s to Canada, the US and Britain. The idea was to lure the masses in with the irrestible tonic of swing music and then slyly work in the anti-Jewish, American and British lyrics after the second or third verse. "
