BBC VS VOLKISCHER BEOBACHTER

 

The frontpage of the January 31st edition.

What's the difference between the British Broadcasting Corporation, the official mouthpiece of the British government, and the Volkischer Beobachter, the official mouthpiece of the Nationalsozialist Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP)?

In the first year of World War II (1939, 1940, 1941), when everything was going wrong for the Allies, with country after country falling to the fascists, military defeat following military defeat, bad news following bad news, when every indicator suggested that a terrible disaster was coming and inevitable, each time the British army got a beating and was trashed, the BBC announced that the British army got a beating and was trashed.

In the last year of World Wat II (1942, 1943, 1944, 1945), when everything was going wrong for the fascists countries, conquest after conquest falling to the Allies, military defeat following military defeat, bad news following bad news, when every indicator suggested that a terrible disaster was coming and inevitable, each time the German army got a beating and was trashed, the  Volkischer Beobachter announced that the German army had made a strategic retreat 200 km to the rear in order to regroup, and that everything was in fact going according to plan: have no fear, victory will come.
