Popular Post GreatCaesarsGhost Posted February 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ok I know this isn’t an exact fit for the thread, but hopefully you all are in a forgiving mood. I was just rereading a book my dad put together chronicling his experience in WW II and came across a napkin he had saved since 1943. This was a going away party given in his honor. Well, things never go quite the way you plan them, and he ended up a POW after having been captured in the Battle of the Bulge. Anyway, the propaganda here in the states wasn’t limited to the covers of funny books Cat-Man_America, BLUECHIPCOLLECTIBLES, ArkhamCastle and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awsome that your dad wrote down his experiences. The Battle of the bulge was brutal. And to become a POW. Glad he made it home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this and now have a copy on the way any day now. This is from 1938. Most definitely Hitler but who are the other two dictators? Pretty sure I know but would appreciate confirmation. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say you have (from left to right) Hitler, Mr. Mystery, Tojo, and Mussolini. What is puzzling is that the depiction of Tojo appears to be a much younger version of him. By 1938, Tojo was 53 years old, was balding, and wore glasses. Hitler and Mussolini appear to be aged appropriately. Interesting choice by the artist. Deliberate?
