| Description | World War II editorial cartoon shows a startled man in a desk chair (labeled "Armchair General") being pulled at an alarming pace over rough ground by a tank. A sign indicates "To Berlin." In the summer of 1944, Allied troops finally broke through the German lines at St. Lo and under the leadership of General George Patton, drove swiftly toward the German border, somewhat to the surprise of civilians watching the progress of the war from the safety of the United States. Jacob Burck was a left-wing cartoonist for the Daily Worker and New Masses before he went to Russia in the 1930's and returned disillusioned with communism. He subsequently cartooned for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Chicago Sun-Times, where he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1941. |
