Description
Original vintage propaganda poster Assassins Patentese / Patented Assassins - A charming image of Roosevelt and Churchill's meeting on the Atlantic has come down to us. It showed these two valiant men singing in chorus the pious hymn: "Forward! Christian soldiers." In the meantime, these Christian soldiers presented themselves to Europe and gave proof of their religiosity. On November 26, 1943, a terrorist raid took place on Bremen. American aviator Kenneth D. Williams, born on May 16, 1922, living at 1504 Scott Avenue in Charlotte, North Carolina, was shot down with his plane. The back of his flight suit bore the inscription "Murder Inc." in large letters, with the American national emblem below. Williams declared that "Murder Incorporation" was the official designation of his squadron. And, indeed, it was also painted on the fuselage of the destroyed plane. At exactly the same time, on November 27, 1943, the London magazine "Illustrated" published a two-page article entitled "Forward! Christian Soldiers," accompanied by views of RAF airmen praying during an R.A.F. impromptu religious service! But these gentlemen are neither Christians nor soldiers. The "Christian" soul of these hypocrites and blasphemers finds its expression in the rain of phosphorus bombs that they methodically unleash on women and children, on the elderly and the sick, without forgetting to openly and cynically display their profession as murderers. With the same "Christian" inspiration, they make so many accommodations that they are allowed to fraternise with the mortal enemy of all religion: blood-stained Bolshevism, and even to hold its stirrup almost everywhere in Europe. Whether they have the nerve to repeat a hundred times the theatrical gesture of posing as Christians, they are in truth, doomed accomplices of Bolshevism, bloody and impious. Horizontal. Fair condition, folds, tears, creasing, paper losses, staining. Country of issue: France, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 61x86, year of printing: 1943.
