Aircrafts in flying formation inside the Fascio Littorio (the Fascist emblem) are the subject of this advertising of the Magneti Marelli, supplier to Italian aeronautical engines of magnets and spark plugs (in Italian under the logo: Magneti e Candele). The slogan in English is: “The product’s flawlessness is an assured help to the power of the fascist wing”. Victor Sierra

Inside the Fascio Littorio

Child-prisoners at Auschwitz who survived to see the liberation, filmed by Captain Alexei Vorontsov on 27 January, 1945.  When the Soviets arrived, the camp only contained some 7,000 prisoners, including a substantial number of children.  The rest had either been killed or led west by the SS on what came to be known as "death marches".  Best regards, JR.

“Ali Fasciste” (Fascist Wings) is the slogan of this Fiat advertising for an Italian aeronautical magazine just before the outbreak of the war. The planes are Fiat BR.20 bombers while the notice S. A. Aeronautica d’Italia – Torino is the name of the Fiat Group’s aeronautics (note the FIAT’s logo in high, on the left). Victor Sierra
