    Yep. Good one.
    Remnants of good, funny photo / poster / cartoon humour in WW2 are hard to find.

    Re: non funny newspaper cartoons - for history buffs
    There is a decent collection here:
    World War II Through Cartoons | McCord Museum

    and from the other side's perspective, Lustige Blätter here: WWII Nazi Cartoons

    From Wikipedia:

    A common stylisation of Erin Go Bragh, in a pseudo-Gaelic font.


    Erin Go Bragh (sometimes Erin Go Braugh) is the Anglicisation of a Gaelic phrase used to express allegiance to Ireland. It is most often translated as "Ireland Forever"[1] and pronounced /ˌɛrɪn ɡə ˈbrɔː/.
