Description | Cartoon shows Hitler seated in a chair anxiously watching a candle (labeled "Luftwaffe") which is guttering out. The cartoonist may have assumed that German air power was diminishing because the German Blitz over England was tapering off during the spring of 1941. Actually Hitler was withdrawing his air forces to prepare for his June invasion of the Soviet Union. The Luftwaffe remained a powerful force through 1943. |
