Summary/Abstract: The third decade of the 20th century is considered in history as the time of preparation for the Second World War. Certainly propaganda is the way to reach the masses and the printed media was usually the tool to promote ideas to as many people as possible. In the periodical Der Bulgarienwart along with the publicistic texts there are many literary ones to find as well. The following article presents seven short stories by Elin Pelin, translated into German and published in the journal. By means of discourse analysis a first attempt is made to establish an interdisciplinary connection between the thematic scope of the short stories, the main translator Stefan Yovev‘s views and the nationalsocialist propaganda ideas during the period.
