The cover featured a Hitler look-alike (supposedly an impersonator named Billy Frick) with a parrot on his shoulder and a pineapple cocktail in his hand in tropical surroundings. The article read as an average travel magazine piece about a "modern day Robinson Crusoe" who had found his Paradise. The thing that hits you the most is the bizarre, almost grotesque contrast between National Socialism and the aloha lifestyle. Fun, in an unpleasent kind of way.
