A historical satirical propaganda leaflet printed on yellowed paper, mimicking the format of an official death notice followed by a fictitious will of Adolf Hitler. The front, adorned with an inverted swastika, sarcastically announces Hitler's "death," listing Nazi accomplices such as Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, and Ribbentrop. The back, titled "This is my Testament," presents a biting and mocking text, bequeathing absurdities to his close associates, and signed "Hitler Adolf – the faltering chancellor." The whole reads like a burlesque denunciation of the Führer's megalomania and Nazi ideology. A rare object from the underground press or intellectual resistance, its historical caustic edge remains undiminished.
