    • 2015 May 21, “ar: «غوبلز» زير النساء «الشهواني» ... وجه آخر لوزير دعاية هتلر”, in Ar-Rāy[1]:
      وَٱلْآنَ، وَبِفَضْلِ سِيرَةٍ حَيَاتِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، أَصْبَحَ بِٱسْتِطَاعَتِنَا أَنْ نَرَى جَانِبًا آخَرَ مِنْ جَوَانِبَ شَخْصِيَّةٍ جوزيف غوبلز وَهِيَ ٱلسِّيرَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَكْشِفُ فَقَطْ كَيْفَ كَانَ مَهْوُوسًا بِهتلر إِلَى دَرَجَةِ ٱلْجُنُونِ، وَلٰكِنَّهَا تَتَنَاوَلُ أَيْضًا لِلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى تَفَاصِيلَ حَيَاتِهِ ٱلشَّخْصِيَّةِ ٱلْمُنْحَرِفَةِ كَمَا أَنَّهَا تُسَلِّطُ ٱلضَّوْءَ عَلَى دَوْرِهِ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُتَوَقَّعِ كَـ«كازانوفا» وَكَـ«زِيرِ نِسَاءٍ» نازي.
      Now, thanks to a new biography, it has become possible for us to see an other side of the personality of Joseph Goebbels, and the biography does not only show how fanatical he was into Hitler up to the point of insanity, but it also treats for the first time the details of his perverted private life as it sheds light on his unexpected role as “Casanova” and Nazi “women visitor”.
