WWII Sketches - Adolf Hitler - Political Humor
« on: September 05, 2009, 07:30:26 pm »
Has anyone seen any of these in a magazine or other sort of publication? Trying to see if these might be worth anything. On the bottom left corner of the first sketch someone wrote "see what did i tell you".

If these are originals and are from the war times....they are worth something.  Establishing that is the issues here I believe.

I'm assuming they are, but I'm not sure how I would confirm that.

Have you seen these before? I got them along with some other items based on that era at an auction. First edition copy of Men in Our Time (9 Men Against Hitler) by Audax and a severely damaged paper mache nazi aircraft.

Seems Ive seen the crawling figure before but not the others, Ive posted them on a couple of militaria sites where it will get more traffic, Is consistent with someing printed in Yank magazine and such, will see what happens.  The crawling figure is probably Pacific Theater so its going to be magazine and propaganda related.

Okay Ive looked at all the Yank websites,,,war bond posters galore,,,and I think this artwork is probably for a newspaper or some other periodical as I cant find an example of it in the collectible market.  Combine that with the fact that the artwork is unsigned and its going to be hard to find the magazine or newspaper in question.  Sorry but Im still looking.

If you look at the image with a magnifying glass or loupe, you may see a series of tiny dots, which would tell you that they had been reproduced for printing purposes of posters or magazines, etc.

A small thought .... if you perhaps know what area of the country these came from , you might consider getting in touch with local VFW posts to see if any WW2 vets might remember something about them (if they're original drawings) .... it's a long-shot , but anti-Hitler stuff was drawn by many Americans during that war .
