| Description | Cartoon shows a ragged despondent peasant (labeled "The German People") looking at pictures of Cairo, Stalingrad, Moscow, and Leningrad, all cities where the German drive to the East had been forestalled. A portrait of Hitler hangs on the wall. Hitler had promised the German people to obtain new "Lebensraum" (or "living space") for them in the countries to the East. By the spring of 1943, it was clear that these promises would not be fulfilled. |
