- philwelch 13y agoDid British anti-German propaganda posters have racist caricatures of German people?
- jessaustin 13y agoThere were caricatures, but asking whether they were racist is rather begging the question.
- philwelch 13y agoCredit for using "begging the question" properly, but let me clarify. Propaganda against the Germans was either aimed squarely at Hitler himself or at more abstract representations that didn't emphasize the frankly non-existent physical differences between Germans and Americans. Germans were portrayed with swastikas and Prussian helmets and jackboots; Japanese were portrayed with buck teeth, yellow skin, glasses and slanted eyes.
