Nazi cartoons from the Second World War. Cartoons of the great patriotic war Cartoons of Hitler during the war
Optimism: "Victory will be ours! The king has found one four-leaf clover!" According to British lore, the four-leaf clover brings good luck to those who find it. The issue came out in the winter of 1941, when the bombing of London became much less intense, but it was still going on.
"I am a friend of all small countries." Churchill takes off his mask. The caricature transparently hints that the British love to fight with someone else's hands.
"I think you need to move, since you are on our side," says Churchill, who clung to Stalin. One of the first issues of the magazine, published after June 22, 1941.
"Samurai sword. It will tear any mouth." The magazine's reaction to December 7, 1941 was a strike by Japanese carrier-based aircraft on Pearl Harbor. On December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. Now Churchill has also become the hero of the cartoons.
"Behind the scenes". A popular subject of Nazi cartoons is a Jewish puppeteer and dolls: Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt. On the floor are already necessary dolls, such as Chamberlain.
"What are you hiding behind your back, Franklin" - asks South America... "Our wedding rings". Readers were taught a simple idea - the United States is using the war to crush South America.
On February 15, 1942, British Singapore became Japanese. "Singapore. The strongest fortress in the world" - the magazine rejoices at the success of the Japanese.
"Trust him Britain. He just wants to protect you," Churchill says. The alliance of the British and Russian Bolsheviks seemed unnatural to the Germans.
"The results of the winter offensive. He bit the steel." In the winter of 1941, the Germans suffered their first defeat in the entire war. The cartoonists did their best to cheer up the depressed readers.
"American Gigantomania". "Isn't it great?" "The engine flies by itself, the plane and the crew will remain intact." The cartoon illustrates the attitude of Germans towards Americans.
"American Chandelier". Another disclosure of the topic of anti-Semitism.
"Upstart" "Torpedo or bomb?" "Neither one nor the other is a storm." The magazine rejoices at the successes of the German submariners. And in the first years of the war, they really achieved impressive successes.
"Doenitz's wolves" should cheer up the readers again. The issue came out in the spring of 1943, after Stalingrad, against the backdrop of ever-increasing Allied air raids. Therefore, the inscription under the cartoon reads "Bomb shelter for sinking ships"
"Polyp". The caricature does not need any comments.
"They eat each other, and the Jew eats them all." Another anti-Semitic caricature.
"Information from the USA". When American radio speaks, the truth is upside down.
"Our proposals". In the United States, they intend to erect a monument to blacks. Most likely it will be like this. The Nazis, of course, did not consider blacks as people, but they did not consider it superfluous to remind readers that they hang blacks in America.
"Impaled". Comments are superfluous.
"Isn't it so sweet, reverend? He wants to become a British Bolshevik commissar when he grows up." Again, the theme of the cartoon was the alliance between Russia and Britain.
Hey Bimbo! Look what funny sheds they have here in Europe. "At the end of the war, the Nazis tried to convince the Germans that the Americans were driving wild blacks into battle who would wipe European culture from the face of the earth. world, they drew cartoons about the French colonial troops.
"Blood pump". No comments.
"His Way to Liberate Europe". As the war drew to a close, the image of the enemy in the German press took on truly infernal features.
But the worst thing was that in the east of Germany, the Germans believed the propaganda.
it is known that the West has tried and is trying to equate communism and fascism. Pointing out - these were both totalitarian regimes.
IMHO, the answer is simple.
Structurally, at the level of "hardware", and the fascist regime and the Sov. power are similar.
Power belongs to one party.
But, at the level of "software" - the spirit, the brain, the aspirations are opposite.
Both a maniac and a normal person, say, are also structurally, at a biological level, very similar - two arms, two legs, etc. But the main thing is what is in the brain, what determines the actions of these bodies, which are very similar in a biological-structural sense.
Without "software", as they are trying to present it, these are corpses. And the difference in the corpses is small, practically absent.
The Nazis are guided by the fact that they are the chosen ones, the rest are subhuman.
Communists are internationalists. For them, all peoples are brothers.
The Nazis seek to integrate with other countries through hostile, aggressive expansion. By consuming them.
The communists are striving, ideally (let's leave the "world revolution" outside the brackets, to which Trotsky was so drawn, which brought him closer to fascism) to peaceful integration, by means of economics. competition with capitalist countries. Where, again, ideally, which almost happened (they put their foot, to put it mildly, in the form of the Second World War), the people already in the elections, seeing the advantage of the USSR, could lead the Communists to power there too.
PS: True, I'll make a reservation, I'm talking here about those communists for whom on the horizon to which they are going is the Soviet, and not the party-monopoly power. The latter inevitably leads to the restoration of capitalism. Monopoly is still justified in emergency years, when democracy is not too much. But, as soon as the need for an emergency disappears, you need to continue the path to the declared goal - the power of the people, through the councils, trade unions ... and not to the omnipotence of party officials, where, in this case, everything that is selfish in the country, indiscriminate in the means, will rush upward and, using the omnipotence of the party, which they headed, will begin to destroy the entire system of the state. I will quote Lenin's words for those who doubt:
The power of the working class was exercised in the form of Soviets. Namely, the fact that the state was ruled by the Soviets was an inalienable condition for the continuation of socialist transformations. Lenin considered the building of socialism unthinkable without the direct participation of the working people in governing the state. “It is important for us to attract all working people to the state without exception. This is a gigantic challenge. But socialism cannot introduce a minority - a party. It can be introduced by tens of millions when they learn to do it themselves. We see our merit in helping the masses to take on this themselves immediately ”
Speaking about the nature of Soviet power, Lenin emphasized: “The democracy of Soviet power and its socialist character is expressed in the fact that the supreme state power are the Soviets which are made up of representatives of the working people ... freely chosen and replaced at any time by the masses; that the local Soviets freely unite on the basis of democratic centralism into a single, federal state, consolidated Soviet power of the Russian Soviet Republic; that the Soviets concentrate in their hands not only legislative power and control over the implementation of laws, but also the direct implementation of laws through all members of the Soviets in order to gradually transfer to the fulfillment of the function of legislation and government by all the working population.
From all of the above, we can conclude: if these principles are lost, then Soviet authority will lose its socialist character, break away from the working people, cease to express their interests (which, while maintaining the state-capitalist basis, will mean the transfer of power and property into the hands of the state bureaucracy, from which a bourgeois class can again emerge). And, consequently, the construction of socialism will inevitably be suspended, as well. it is possible only with the conscious, i.e. leading participation of the working people.
Lenin said that “ socialism is not created by orders from above... State-bureaucratic automatism is alien to his spirit: socialism is alive, creative, is the creation of the masses of the people themselves
And Lunacharsky:
“Imagine such a thing. Russia is freeing itself from the landlords and the bourgeoisie, driving them out. The country remains mainly petty-bourgeois and is under strong influence and control of the proletariat, but in relation to the whole country it is very small in number. All this petty-bourgeois milk is raising the cream, a new command staff ... We are looking for people, we are raising them, we are fixing them in certain places, this is a natural process, it cannot be otherwise. But could it not happen that this audience ... turns into the beginnings of a new command class? Wouldn't they still end up as "Sovburs" - Soviet bourgeoisie and dignitaries? From the point of view of Marxism, there is not only the likelihood, but also the inevitability of a petty-bourgeois country spontaneously separating from itself the big bourgeoisie. " (A. V. Lunacharsky “Lenin”, M., 1924).
But, what happened happened. Beginning in 1953, the top of the party began to eliminate control over themselves by law enforcement officers. Accusing and destroying Beria as a pretext, banning, until the party's approval, party control, the development of the highest party members. Starting to crush everything in the country for themselves, state everything. And the country did not continue the path to the left, towards socialism, but went to the right. From the power of the Soviets to the omnipotence of the party, its top, above all. To the detachment about the people, the breakage of feedback with him. Emasculating, transforming living things into rituals, slogans devoid of deep meaning, into a scarecrow of socialism, devoid of life. As before, in a similar way, Catholicism passed from true Christianity, from its love for man and denial of aggressive violence, to its opposite, burning people "for the glory of Christ", blessing the predatory "Crusades". Degradation and disintegration began. There was still enough momentum for almost 40 years, but the end was inevitable.
Caricature during the Great Patriotic War
The Hitlerite army, armed to the teeth, in spite of the courageous resistance of the Soviet troops, moved forward. A mortal danger is hanging over our Motherland.
From every Soviet citizen, no matter what post he was in: in a trench at the front edge or at a blast furnace, at the helm of a combat aircraft or at the wheel of a tractor, boundless dedication and honest service to the Motherland were required.
"Everything for the front, everything for the victory!" - these words became the motto of the life and work of the Soviet people. At the call of the party, the entire people rose to fight the enemy. Soviet artists also felt mobilized and called upon by their art to serve the people, to help them in a mortal battle with the enemy.
The first to respond to the war events were poster artists and cartoonists.
In the first weeks of the war, voices were heard against any ridiculous, caricatured images of the enemy. This is de-frivolous, harmful, demobilizing. The military situation requires a completely different approach: only angry, harsh poster images are appropriate, showing the atrocities of the invaders, calling for resistance, revenge, and the destruction of the Nazis. And there is nothing to laugh.
But Soviet satire did not take this path. After all, only the one who is afraid of him does not laugh at the enemy. But Hitler failed to intimidate the Soviet people. It goes without saying that angry, pathetic, draft posters were necessary at that time and played a huge propaganda role, but it did not follow from this that it was necessary to abolish laughter.
It is known that when in 1919 the White Guard troops of Yudenich, advancing on Petrograd, launched the tanks sent to them by the British, then some young, not yet fired Red Army men, when they first saw these incomprehensible, terrible machines, wavered. The Soviet command decided to take urgent measures against "tank fear". One of such effective measures turned out to be laughter. On a special assignment, the poet Demyan Bedny wrote funny ditties "Tanka-Vanka" in a few hours. The chorus were the following words: "Like a fire on Tanka Vanka - Tanka, lo and behold, the wheels are apart!".
And in 1943, when the German Tiger tanks were first moved to our positions in the famous battle on the Kursk Bulge, the Pravda and Krasnaya Zvezda newspapers published cartoons in one day, ridiculing the Nazis' calculations to intimidate our soldiers with these "tigers" ... For some time, artists depicted Hitler as nothing other than riding a beaten tiger or in a torn tiger skin with a half-torn tail. This ridicule of even a strong enemy aroused in the soldiers a sense of moral superiority, weakened and even destroyed the fear of the steel monster. Reflecting on the role of the funny when it comes to the fate of the world, the role of the comic when a tragedy occurs, I consider the opinion of those who, as it seems to me, more than others, have the right to judge whether or not a funny satire in a setting is needed battles for life and death. These most authoritative critics did not have to be specially interviewed - they themselves, by own initiative and willingly, they sent feedback on the work of Soviet cartoonists.
These precious reviews were written some hastily, in pencil, in a quick, hard-to-read handwriting, while others - diligently, in ink, with smooth, beautiful lines. They are written on crumpled pages from school notebooks, and on the back of some old forms, and on luxurious trophy paper with embossed monograms. But everyone has the same return address - " Field mail, number such and such. "
Where are the soldiers now who wrote to the editorial board about the work of Soviet cartoonists? How did their fates develop? Which of them saw the great Victory Day, and who did not live to see the triumph of a just cause? Where did the roads of war lead them?
But let the thoughts and feelings expressed by front-line readers in those harsh and glorious years sound today, let them come to life for a new generation, as another testimony of fortitude Soviet soldiers who beat the fascists not only with weapons, but also with calm life-affirming optimism, the ability to see the funny and contemptible in the fierce appearance of the enemy.
So during the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet caricature did everything it could to justify the high rank with honor. combat weapons... She fired satirical fire on the enemy from the pages of the central and front-line press, cut with propaganda posters, "Windows TASS", rose with colorful posters at the crossroads of military roads, scattered leaflets in a flying rain. Walking in combat units, she, together with the soldiers, retreated almost to Moscow, advanced from the banks of the Volga, came to Berlin and, somewhat later, to Nuremberg, where sentences were passed to the leaders of the Hitlerite Reich. The presence of Soviet caricaturists at the historical Nuremberg Trials was, as it were, the last page filled with great symbolic meaning in their military-patriotic activities during the Great Patriotic War. The honorable mission - to be representatives of all artist-fighters, cartoonists of large and small, central, front-line, army and divisional newspapers, to be messengers of all Soviet military graphic journalism - fell to the lot of a small brigade, which consisted of Kukryniksy and B. Efimov. And we saw with our own eyes what, throughout all the days of the great struggle of our people against the invaders, Soviet cartoonists more than once depicted with deep faith in drawings and posters - we finally saw the bloody Hitlerite criminals in the dock before the menacing court of nations.
Goering, Rosenberg, Ribbentrop, Keitel and other fascist monsters, whom the artists painted hundreds of times, so to speak, in absentia, appeared before them there, in Nuremberg, with their own eyes in the role of models against their will. Here they are, with notebooks and pencils, standing at the barrier separating the dock from the courtroom. Goering sits first on the edge, one and a half meters away. A comparison involuntarily comes: this is how in the terrarium of the zoo they closely examine the disgusting fat boa, moving its rings with its rings, which, by the way, very much reminded Goering with cold evil eyes, a huge toothless mouth, sliding movements of a heavy body. At first, Goering pretends not to pay attention to anyone. Then this close scrutiny of Soviet artists begins to irritate him, and he nervously turns away, throwing a fierce glance from under his brows in our direction ... But we continue to work - not for the sake of curiosity. No! We, artists, must capture for history every moment of the just judgment of peoples over those who wanted to destroy civilization, peace and happiness on earth. We must use the art of caricature to reveal to people the animal nature of these "rulers", to show their insignificance, subjecting them to ridicule of the ideas of world domination that they nurtured.
The days of peaceful life have come ...
Posters during the Second World War
The first who responded to the war events were poster artists. On the second day of the war, the Kukryniksy poster "We will mercilessly crush and destroy the enemy!"
In the very first days of World War II, TASS Windows were created. They collaborated with poets Bedny, Marshak, Lebedev-Kumach, Kirsanov, artists Efimov, Kukrynnksy, Goryaev, Cheremnykh. The whole country knew the posters of TASS Windows; Crowds of Muscovites gathered at the windows, waiting for a new release. Multiplied in a reduced format, they were delivered to the front. Airplanes in the form of leaflets scattered them over the occupied cities and villages, instilling in people confidence in our victory.
Among the first posters of the Patriotic War, the poster of the artist I. Toidze "The Motherland Calls" should be noted.
An elderly woman with a stern face holds in outstretched forward right hand military oath text, left hand invitingly raised the top. Unforgettable is her face with tightly compressed lips, with burning eyes, pointed at the viewer. Hair slightly scattered with gray, frowned eyebrows pushed to the bridge of the nose, a handkerchief waving in the wind create a mood of alarm and very clearly define the main idea of the poster - the Motherland calls its sons to fulfill their duty - to protect the Fatherland.
The first months of the war were hard. The enemy pressed against our army, seized Belarus, Ukraine, the Baltic states, surrounded Leningrad with a blockade, and approached the outskirts of Moscow. In the occupied territory, the Nazis exterminated Soviet people, burned villages, and forcibly took young people to German penal servitude.
A woman looks at the viewer from the poster of the artist Shmarinov "Revenge". Against the background of the smoky conflagration she stands, motionless and terrible in her grief. On her lowered hands is the body of a brutally murdered girl. In the wide-open eyes of the mother, filled with tears, not only suffering, but also the demand - revenge!
The poster of the artist V. Koretsky "Warrior of the Red Army, save!" Was unusually widespread during the war years. Repeated many times on plywood boards near the front roads, on the walls of houses, on postcards, this poster became a symbol and an oath, awakening in the hearts of the soldiers an ardent desire to defeat the enemy, to save wives and children from torment and suffering.
A woman is holding a boy clinging to her in her arms. Hair was knocked out from under the white headscarf, eyebrows were drawn with hatred and pain, the corners of the lips were sufferingly lowered. The child clung tightly to the mother in fear. From the left, obliquely to the center, directly into the heart of the mother, the bayonet of a Hitlerite soldier is directed. Not a single superfluous detail. Even the child's fist is hidden under the scarf. The figures of the mother and son are depicted in bust, as if floating out of the darkness in the false wavering light of the conflagration. The ruthless fascist bayonet stained with blood and the young mother, ready to cover her son with her body, made an indelible impression. It was no coincidence that the artist Koretsky received hundreds of agitated letters from front-line soldiers unfamiliar to him, in which the soldiers vowed to expel the enemy from the Soviet land, to free their people from Nazi bondage.
Koretsky in this work skillfully used the possibilities of photography in order to give the image the character of genuine authenticity. He managed to avoid naturalism, excessive detailing inherent in many photomontages. Laconicism, strictness in the selection of expressive means, harsh black and red color scheme, tremendous power of emotional impact made this poster a significant work of Soviet art, unmatched among wartime posters.
After the failures and defeats of the first year of the war, our country also experienced the joy of victories. The theme of the Soviet military poster has changed. There became more light and joyful moods in him, caused by the presentiment of an imminent victory, more and more often the call sounded not only to free the Soviet land from the enemy, but also to bring freedom to the peoples. Europe. The war veterans are well remembered for the poster of the artist V. Ivanov "We drink the water of our native Dnieper".
The last posters of the Patriotic War are dedicated to the victorious final battles. They glorify the heroic deed of the Soviet people, at the cost of great sacrifices, which saved humanity from fascist slavery.
Soviet poster artists fulfilled their patriotic duty during the war years, creating a chronicle of struggle and victories remarkable in its artistic and ideological merits, which will never be forgotten by our people.

They were: Kupriyanov Mikhail Vasilievich, Krylov Porfiry Nikitich and Sokolov Nikolai Alexandrovich. All of them were People's Artists of the USSR and members of the Academy of Arts of the USSR.
The Kukryniksy were satirical artists. Thanks to their accurately noticed subjects, they became world famous and received a special place in Soviet art. Initially, this creative union created cartoons on various themes from literature. When meeting with them, Maxim Gorky advised to take ideas for creativity more broadly - not only within the life of literary Russia, but also political topics, including outside the country. Since 1925, they began to appear as cartoonists in the newspapers: Pravda and Krokodil. Here they developed their own special style. They marked with their creativity various topical themes, sometimes with a caustic background and even derogatory to the heroes of their cartoons, often there are political themes, posters denouncing fascism (the Escape of the Nazis from Novgorod, The End, Accusation, etc.) and their response to world events, which Soviet Union gave an extremely negative assessment.
They played a significant role in the Soviet poster, which played the role of patriotic education of the Russian people. For the so-called Windows TASS Kukryniksy were awarded the State Prize of the USSR and the Lenin Prize.
Corpulent Duce
After the defeat of the Italian troops in Africa and the loss of all colonial possessions, the deep political and economic crisis that fascist Italy had been experiencing since the end of 1942 reached its climax. In the late spring of 1943, Mussolini's regime was on the verge of collapse.

The gigantic battle that began on the Kursk Bulge favored the landing of Anglo-American troops on July 10, 1943 in Sicily. In the current situation on the Soviet-German front, Hitler could not provide significant assistance to his Italian ally. All this contributed to the success of the movement for the elimination of the fascist regime in Italy and the country's withdrawal from the war.

Freeloaders (Bulgarian bread)

The government of Marshal Badoglio, which replaced Mussolini's regime, signed an armistice with the United States and Great Britain on September 3, 1943. As a retaliatory action, Hitler ordered the introduction of an additional contingent of troops into Italy, the disarmament of the Italian army and the occupation of the country. On the same days, the Anglo-American troops began landing in several places in the south of the Apennine Peninsula and, having created an overwhelming advantage, forced the Nazi troops to retreat to the north of Italy.
