Content note: Caricature of German soldiers with distorted, snarling faces singing a German slogan of world conquest. This object is shown as it was published. Why
Oh, Yeah?
Poster of five open-mouthed German soldiers in helmets singing from sheet music, with a speech balloon quoting a German slogan in black-letter type and in English translation, and the retort 'Oh, Yeah?'. Faces are drawn grim and distorted; the quoted threat of world conquest is a fear-appeal.
