| Description | World War II cartoon shows Hitler and Stalin as two fighting cats with their tails tied together, suspended from a clothesline. The cartoon refers to the limerick about the celebrated cats from Kilkenny, Ireland, who fought "Til, instead of two cats there weren't any." In June 1941, Hitler turned on his former ally and invaded the Soviet Union. Some people in the United States hoped that the two dictatorships would destroy each other. |
