French anti-German propaganda cartoons

Very nicely drawn and colored a few of the topics are a bit too much but such is war.

Thanks for posting I've never seen this one before. (y)
 
Fantastic find. Not dissimilar to what most countries did to demonize the enemy.

Not just that, but I think it can be argued that the allied propaganda campaign against Germany from 1914 to 1918 was one of the most effective in recent history. Its really an interesting topic, especially that directed at the Kaiser.

Yes but considerably amplified here because the Germans invaded Belgian and French territories, whereas the French and Belgians did not enter Germany. These pictures stress, principally, the claimed impact of German invasion on French civilians. Germans soldiers are depicted as looters, arsonists, murderers... It was impossible for German civilians to pretend the same.

Agree. But also not unlike WW2 German propaganda against the Russians or Americans against the Japanese hyping racial and sub human stereotypes
