It was the first mass-market German magazine and pioneered the format of the illustrated news magazine. Under the Third Reich, the Berliner Illustrirte, like all other German publications, was subject to Joseph Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry. In mid-1934 the Ullstein family business was "aryanised", and the Berliner Illustrirte became an organ of Nazi propaganda; previously non-political, with the outbreak of war in 1939, it started featuring stories about the military and German victories." Very good. Item #301095
