Content note: Axis leaders and a figure labelled Russia are caricatured at a dinner table carving a globe, with Hitler's speech rendered in a mock German accent, as published. This object is shown as it was published. Why
Chorus: ...But Adolf! What about that other nice piece?
Four caricatured figures labelled Russia, Japan and Italy, with a fourth speaking in a German-accented voice, sit at a table carving a globe marked No. Am. and So. Am. into portions. The cartoon argues that the Axis powers and Russia are dividing the world among themselves, leaving the Americas as the remaining piece; the fear appeal rests on that implied threat.
