| Description | Cartoon shows a monster composed of tanks, planes, and shells (labeled "Blitzkrieg") advancing on a frightened Hitler. The caption refers to the monster who turned on his creator in the novel, "Frankenstein," by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The blitzkrieg (or "lightning war"), used with great effect by the Germans in the early days of World War II, combined devastating air attacks with flexible tank warfare. The same tactics were used by the Allies against the Germans in France after the Normandy invasion in the summer of 1944. |
