| Description | Cartoon shows Hitler, standing next to his car stuck in the sands of Africa, looking impatiently at his watch, saying "Und I have a date with [Japanese Emperor] Hirohito." The caption is a line from Rudyard Kipling's "The Ballad of East and West." In November 1941, Hitler's campaign in North Africa was stopped by British counterattacks. The cartoon suggests that this will slow the anticipated German drive to the east to link up with Japanese expansion in Asia. |
