| Description | Cartoon shows Nazi leader Adolf Hitler sitting at the head of a table looking at a map of Nazi penetration into South America. The Spanish fascist leader, Franco, sits to the right of Hitler, gesturing to Argentina on the map, where a Nazi flag has been placed. He wears a uniform decorated with swastikas, and is unshaven and unkempt. An open bag rests on the floor beside him, "Monkey business for South America." Hitler and three German officers sitting across the table from Franco look at the Spanish leader rather than at the map. A map of the United States hangs on the wall behind the table. A plan for "softening up operations against the U.S.A." is described below the map. It includes anti-Jewish propaganda, anti-African-American propaganda, anti-Soviet propaganda, labor troubles and sabotage. Sealed orders and plans for espionage in Latin America rest on the floor between Hitler and Franco. In addition, a microphone on a stand raises mechanical hands. It is labeled "D.N.B." The Deutsches Nachrictenburo, the official press agency of the Third Reich was founded in 1933. |
