Copies of the ‘Weekly Review of the German News Agency’ and a solitary copy of ‘Radio News from Italy’. Essentially Axis propaganda, these English-language news reviews were designed for overseas circulation in neutral or non-aligned countries (like Ireland). They were usually disseminated by German and Italian diplomatic missions abroad. The news sheets featured short articles on Axis victories and reports on the brutality of the Allied bombing campaign. The reviews aimed to justify the war and to cultivate support for the Axis regimes, particularly by focusing on the perceived necessity of defeating Soviet communism.
