You will get THE WHOLE 20 pages magazine (WWII era beauty sized 25cm/35cm smiles on the title page as you can enjoy on scan No.4 here); caricatures on last page, depicting Stalin et all. as on scan No.5 here; more actual news like portraits of Japanese kamikazes or sad pictures of the "Bolshevik paradise" plus other German propaganda as usual for German ally Bulgaria in 1942.
