Ralph J. Whitehead Posted 14 February , 2018 Share Posted 14 February , 2018 (edited) I purchased this pop-up postcard many years back. Once you received it, you would open the card and watch the powerful German soldier pop=up as he holds the hair of his two greatest enemies while the others involved in the war are represented in how they were being perceived by the German public. I particularly appreciate just the helping hand from Austria-Hungary. Quite a few stereotypes and outright racist themes going on here. Edited 14 February , 2018 by Ralph J.

Jervis Posted 17 October , 2018 Share Posted 17 October , 2018 Interesting. What is "the baby" attached to the England supposed to represent? I cant get a good resolution on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxD Posted 17 October , 2018 Share Posted 17 October , 2018 I think it is on its own and not attached I read the title as Monako which Wiki tells me declared itself neutral in Aug 14, perhaps that's why the baby? (And Prince Albert of Monaco was with the Kaiser in Kiel when the archduke was assassinated in Sarajevo). Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jervis Posted 17 October , 2018 Share Posted 17 October , 2018 Seems a little harsh on Monaco, what was a little principality expected to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxD Posted 18 October , 2018 Share Posted 18 October , 2018 The paragraph "later Life" shows I think why the Germans would have held Prince Albert for a baby (becoming a pacifist - attempts to dissuade Germany from war - Peace Institute) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_I,_Prince_of_Monaco Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
