(HOLOCAUST).
Anti-German propaganda fold-up paper puzzle. “Where is the 5th Pig?” Text in English and Dutch.
Four pigs in four quadrants, which, when folded, come together to reveal the fifth pig: Adolph Hitler.
7 x 10 inches.
(1940’s).
“Fold-ups” are pictures which can be folded-up to reveal smaller pictures made up of elements of the original.
The British SOE (Special Operations Executive) printed and distributed a number of versions of a printed sheet that could be folded to show Adolph Hitler - “a fifth pig.” Besides being used in Allied countries as a morale booster, they were also dropped from aircraft to partisans in Nazi-occupied nations to belittle Hitler.
