Not a comic but a piece of original editorial art by Dorman H. Smith.  I know about the meeting plans in Santa's bag and wonder why Mussolini is missing although Santa bears a resemblance which doesn't make sense.  I assume Santa just is Big Bad Santa and delivering plans that the Allies have agreed to wreak havoc on the Axis.

Thoughts?

"The Tehran Conference was a strategy meeting of Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill from 28 November to 1 December 1943, after the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran."

Mussolini had been deposed by then.

What made this perplexing to me is that I think the North African Conference refers to the Casablanca Conference held in January of 1943 in North Africa.  Stalin didn't attend although he was invited.  Mussolini was deposed in July of 1943 so I do now understand why he isn't shown.  I am unsure when this ran but obviously after the Tehran Conference.  Seems like a relatively long time span to represent both in the cartoon since I think of editorial cartoons as representing current events or feelings pumping through the populace.

Thoughts on Santa representing something more than conveying bad stuff going to happen to the Axis?

new to the collection.  this one is a keeper that looks much better than the assigned grade.   the missing centerfold doesn’t affect the Hitler story which is complete.

This might be the copy that many years ago was auctioned on eBay, where I tried to bid (not knowing how much the book was already sought after) and lost the auction.
Thankfully I had at least the opportunity to purchase this one… :x

Cool cover.  But this book also has some really interesting splash pages, like 5 of them!

Awsome, thanks for posting. Now I want to dig out my copy for a look. The sad thing is with slabbed copies, the cool stuff inside is often lost. With the large amount of cool books like this out there, most will never know what got used old timers interested in GA in the first place.
