Hitler Propaganda Postcard

Flag_of_the_United_StatesAnother simple bit of propaganda, mocking the Fuhrer. Looking at the material that propagandists used to attack the Germans, it focused mostly on Adolf Hitler. He was characterised as being a carpet biter, portrayed as a monkey or a rat or, as in this example, there was a toilet joke in there somewhere. This looks mid-war American, unofficial and designed for the home front. Let’s say it together, Fuck Hitler.

    It’s signed “J.H.,” which stands for John Heartfield, the famous German Dada and collage artist, who became an enemy of the Nazis. He collaborated with George Grosz in art projects and Bertoldt Brecht in theater designs. A great satirist and huge thorn in the side of the conservative cretins of Germany.
