> how are these books and calendars historically valueable?
Well, in the 50s people here were so tired of the war and feared facing repercussions by the allied and soviet occupying forces for being willfull supporters of the NS-government that they frantically burned and destroyed all literature, pictures and flags they found in their viccinity.
What was not burnable, such as honour-daggers, emblems and medals got flushed down toilets, buried or made into something else (My grandmother's parents made cans out of munition and a red skirt out of a flag for example)
People even destroyed mundane stuff such as furnishing and dishes made in this time.
Even today people tend to just quietly destroy such stuff when they find leftovers in grandparents attic or elsewhere.
In the end I think that this "hurr the stuff is from the empire of pure cartoon-villain evil! Must destroy!" mentality has been totally justified in the 50s but is just ignorant now that the material has become very rare due to aforementioned reasons and a sober distance to the things that have happened displaced the horror. (At least outside of western europe)
So why brand propaganda from one of the most influental times of our history as worthless?
Would you demolish atztec pyramids because humans were sacrifieced on them?
Would you burn scriptures from the state of Gengis Khan because his troops did evil in bagdhad and raped half of central asia, persia and europe?
If your not totally ignorant of the worth such historical leftovers have in order to understand the mentality, worldview or cultural accomplishments of gone civilisations you would tend to preserve them.
As a rightleaning person, the infantile fearmongering of the liberal centrists and the left concerning our history does not impress me anymore and only shooed me away from NS stuff as child, but the Nazi propaganda in its uncommented form along my grandparents experiences carries a much better argument against the System it represents because the choice of its words, the hysteric hubris and general attire seems utterly alien from a modern perspective and made me value the basic principles of our democracy again.
Dont be afraid of 70s year old calendars celebrating racial solidarity with poems or servitude to the state in the from of makeshift fairytales for minors, if your worldview is truly superiour, people wont start forming right wing death squads because they felt flattered by an LP with Wehrmacht songs they found in their basement, just like we dont have communist revolutions anymore even though you can freely download Mao's red book without libruls loosing their shit about its totalitarian message.
