78 rpm records in "The Rum Diary" movie

I watched the movie "The Rum Diary" with Johnny Depp and surprisingly beheld some familiar stuff...

I'ts possible that the sleeves are fakes (and records too) because of the print Die Sprachen von Adolf Hitler. That is no correct German. Maybe translated by a software. Has anyone ever seen that sleeve from NS-Schallplatten-Industrie above?

Both are fantasy pieces. Die braune Platte (Kristall) had nothing to do with the Hakenkreuz-Platte (NS-Schallplatten-Industrie) or the SA-Schallplatte (Electrocord) and here we can see the title of their recording (Hitlers Appell an die Nation) placed on/in the sleeves of the latter two (plus the aforementioned incorrect spelling, which was clearly written on a PC, in this font). As far as is known, there were no NS speeches released on the NSSI swastika-flag records (some speeches were released under the white swastika label though), or on the Electrocord records.

Cheers,
Ivan

Several posts dealing with records of the NS-Schallplatten-Industrie have been split-off into a new topic.
