| Description | Cartoon shows Hitler, accompanied by a German officer with a skull head, standing in front of a billboard reading, "'If the British Air Force Drops 3 or 4 Thousand Kilograms of Bombs, We Will Drop 150, 180, 200, 300, 400 Thousand Kilograms and More in a Single Night.' Hitler -- Sept. 4, 1940." Words in a dark stormy sky read "Coming Anglo-American Air Attack on Germany." After Hitler made this threat in 1940, the Germans commenced saturation bombing of London, a tactic which by shifting their focus from defeating the British RAF, may have resulted in their loss of the Battle of Britain. Later when the United States entered the war, the Allies retaliated with full-scale bombing of German cities. |
