synopsis

A typical hybrid compilation, projected within the framework of a war magazine: mourning, honours, joy from work, and Drang nach Osten.

The magazine contains six pieces of different provenance, each from countries in the Nazi sphere of influence, linked by a Slovak commentary. The Protectorate’s “nationwide” commemoration of Heydrich is followed by two Slovak spots: one on the honouring of “frontline fighters” who were knocked out of the Eastern Front, and the other on the production of wooden houses in Turany. But the most extensive spot is devoted to Nazi war propaganda, the battle for Sevastopol. To lighten things up, the weekly also includes one hilarious spot on the “music of stone” by the Brussels pavers.
