A little big of home-front propaganda. Probably American due to spelling. Late war and part of the dime store effort to make a penny while appearing to support the war effort.

Novelty Hitler Moustache
Posted in Propaganda Items, Toys with tags Fuck Hitler, Homefront, United States, WW2 on July 22, 2018 by The DudeHitler Propaganda Postcard
Posted in Paper, Propaganda Items with tags Fuck Hitler, Homefront, Propaganda, United States, WW2 on May 13, 2017 by The DudeAnother 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.
Hang Hitler Propaganda Toy
Posted in Paper, Propaganda Items with tags Fuck Hitler, Homefront, United States, WW2 on November 24, 2016 by The DudeMan this stuff just cracks me up. It’s a cardboard doll from, I would guess, the USA around 1943. The legs and one arm are articulated and if you hold the noose and pull the string, well Adolf just goes nutzi! Honestly, fuck Hitler.
Schicklgruber Propaganda Pin
Posted in Propaganda Items with tags Adolf Hitler, Fuck Hitler, United States, WW2 on October 11, 2016 by The DudeCheaply made and pressed out in their millions these little lapel badges helped fuel the American people in their struggle against the Axis. This example is labelled “Wanted for Murder, Adolf Schicklgruber alias ‘Hitler'”. This is a reference to Adolf’s grandmother Maria Schicklgruber who gave birth to Alois, Hitler’s father out of wedlock. Apparently Americans found Schicklgruber to be a more comical surname than Hitler. It also suggested Hitler was a bastard by proxy.
Hitlers Will Novelty, Version 2
Posted in Paper, Propaganda Items with tags Anti-Axis, Fuck Hitler, Homefront, United States, WW2 on March 18, 2016 by The DudeThis is the second version of this novelty that I have. Content wise it is very similar to this one here. However there are minor differences, in the front and rear pages and small verbiage deltas. This one is not attributed to the Robbins Novelty Company but it is so similar that it’s either theirs or a knock-off.
The Producers 2005 Prop Ticket
Posted in Paper with tags Adolf Hitler, Fuck Hitler, Mel Brooks, Springtime For Hitler, The Producers on March 18, 2016 by The DudeYeah I know this isn’t strictly war shit, but this is a prop from one of my favourite movies. This ticket is a prop handed to each of the extras who appeared in the St James Theatre location for the filming of the notorious “Springtime for Hitler” scene from Mel Brooks outstandingly acidic movie “The Producers”. I like this movie for three reasons, the casting (Will Ferrell is a mad man), the musical numbers (“Winter for Poland and France”) and finally, because fuck Hitler.
Three Dirty “Rats” License Plate Topper
Posted in Propaganda Items, Vehicles with tags Anti-Axis, Fuck Hitler, Homefront, United States, WW2 on March 1, 2016 by The DudeMore home front nonsense here. This plate topper (designed to be mounted above the rear number plate of a private car) comes out of the States and perfectly captures the three axis stooges theme of mid-war anti-axis personality propaganda. A good solid yellow bucktooth Tojo, followed by Hitler and the giant-chinned Mussolini. These are just about impossible to find anymore. They didn’t have reflective paint like we do now so the paint contains ground glass to make it shine under light at night.
Hitler’s Will: The Novelty Version
Posted in Paper, Propaganda Items with tags Anti-Axis, Fuck Hitler, Homefront, United States, WW2 on March 1, 2016 by The DudeI love these home front items. They represent a great view into the social zeitgeist that existed or had to be manufactured in the middle of the largest war we have ever seen. They range in execution from the cheesy comedy to toxic racism. It really does show how hard they had to work to generate the hatred necessary for a democracy to defeat militarism. This particular one is a novelty representation of Adolf’s last testament. It was manufactured by the prolific D J Robbins Novelty Company of NY in 1943.
Heel Hitler Propaganda Card
Posted in Paper, Propaganda Items with tags Anti-Axis, Fuck Hitler, Germany (Third Reich), United States, WW2 on February 18, 2016 by The Dude
This is a great example of the mid-war propaganda coming out of the U.S. home front. It’s a card designed to be mailed in the accompanying envelope. It uses a bit of misdirection in the delivery of the joke as initially you are led to believe that Hitler will be squashed under the heel of a boot. Instead he’s in the shitter and obviously not too happy about it. Made by the D J Robbins Novelty Company of NY in 1943. Charming.
Advertisement for these novelty cards. These were intended as “ticket lifters” and sold through convenience stores and barbershops.
