| Description | World War II cartoon shows a huge German Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, telling a diminutive Hitler, "He had hallucinations. He thought a little man named Schicklgruber, with a Charlie Chaplin mustache, was after him." In the distance, a man parachutes from a plane covered with swastikas into Scotland. On May 10, 1941, Rudolf Hess, one of Hitler's deputies, flew a plane from Germany to Scotland where he parachuted to the ground. Hess claimed he had come to negotiate peace, but his mission was repudiated by Hitler who said Hess was insane. In 1941, the American press was still inclined to ridicule Hitler by claiming that his father was illegitimate and that Hitler's name was really Schicklgruber. Charlie Chaplin, with his trademark mustache, bore some resemblance to Hitler and parodyed him in his film The Great Dictator. |
