Above, the cover and several interior scans from the French weekly film magazine CineÌmonde, with French actress Mylène Demongeot. We’ve talked about her quite a bit, but when we ran across this we thought we’d revisit her once more. CineÌmonde was published from 1928 to 1971, with this issue hitting newsstands today in 1958. We bought some, so we’ll get back to this publication later.
1937—Hitler Reveals His Plans for Lebensraum
Adolf Hitler holds a secret meeting with Nazi officials and states his intention to acquire “lebensraum,” or living space for Germany. An old German concept that dated from 1901, Hitler had written of it in Mein Kampf, and now possessed the power to implement it. Basically the idea, as Hitler saw it, was for the Nazis to kill, deport, or enslave the Polish, Russian and other Slavic populations to the east, whom they considered inferior, and to repopulate those lands with a Germanic upper class.
