The Aryan type: “Blond as Adolf Hitler, thin as Hermann Wilhelm Goering and tall as Joseph Goebbels” illustration

A satirical illustration by Bernard Aldebert (1909-1974), titled “The Aryan type”, pointing out the irony of “Blond as Adolf Hitler, thin as Hermann Wilhelm Goering and tall as Joseph Goebbels”. Part of the collection of “Nazi-German in 22 lessons” (The Nazi German in 22 leçons), created around 1945, offers a satirical and insightful critique of Nazi Germany. Through a series of 22 lessons, Aldebert, a French artist known for his keen observational skills and wit, encapsulates the essence of the Nazi regime’s ideology, policies, and contradictions. His work serves as a historical caricature, capturing the absurdities and horrors of the era with a sharpness that both educates and provokes thought, providing a unique visual commentary on one of history’s darkest chapters.
