Description | World War II cartoon shows Stalin hitting Hitler's arm with a club (labeled "Russian Counter Offensive"), forcing him to drop a bag labeled "Rostov, Gateway to the Caucasian Oil Fields." Hitler still holds a bag labeled "Loot of the Nazi War Machine." When Hitler invaded Russia in June 1941, he thought his forces would be able to defeat the Russians within the year. Although he made rapid strides, his progress had slowed by December, and he was actually forced to pull back from Rostov, a key city on the way to the valuable Caucasian oil fields. |
