"Seppla" [Josef Plank]. Axis bombs severing F.D.R. & Churchill's "hands across the sea," between 1935 and 1943
This anti-Allied cartoon wishfully envisions the forcible destruction of the American-British alliance. Bombs fall from a cloud labeled with the symbols of the three major Axis powers—the rising sun of imperial Japan, the fasces (sticks bundled around an axe for strength) of Mussolini's Italy, and the swastika of Nazi Germany.
