      I mean, that’s a kinda-lovable looking Darth Vader.

      Here’s a Danish Nazi poster that has America as a four-armed giant. Two of the arms are black, and one is carrying a noose. There’s a Klu Klux Klan hood on his head. One hand is wielding a record via which America spreads culture. Another a bag of money with a Jewish guy hanging on the back. The upper torso is a cage with two black people dancing the jitterbug in it. One arm, in a prison sleeve and with a dangling manacle, is carrying a Thompson submachine gun single-handed. One arm is playing a drum, which makes up the lower torso. There’s a beauty pagent leg, and the other is a big industrial tube dropping a bomb, presumably representing American industrial munitions output. Despite pre-dating NCD by about seventy years, it’s got aircraft wings and two scantily-clad women, one blowing a trumpet and the other waving an American flag, resting on the shoulders. And a Jewish crotch-flap.

      Italy had a propaganda poster with a kilometer-high skeletal Statue of Liberty.
