| Description | Cartoon shows a man (labeled "The German People") semi-prone on the continent of Europe, gazing anxiously at the island of Bermuda (labeled "Results of the Bermuda Conference"), while a menacing Soviet soldier with a bayonet looms in the background. The caption refers to Lillian Hellman's 1941 play of the same name, which addresses the menace of fascist totalitarianism. Cartoon reflects the longing of the German people to end the Allied and Soviet military occupation and reunite the divided halves of their country. These issues were discussed at the meeting of the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and the United States in Bermuda in December 1953. |
