| Description | World War II cartoon shows Vichy French Chief of Government Pierre Laval pointing to a sign reading "Bulletin, U.S. Bombers Blast Rouen!" and saying, "I object!" Hitler, lurking behind the sign, says, "Louder! Louder!" The caption is the well-known slogan of the RCA Victor company. On August 17, 1942, American planes launched a large-scale raid on military targets in Rouen, a city in German-occupied France. The Vichy government protested, claiming Vichy France still had authority over non-military facilities in the occupied areas. Berryman suggests that Laval, a long-time Nazi supporter, was simply speaking at the dictates of the Germans. |
