Very nice meeting you, Art is one of the most civil humans I've ever had the pleasure to meet! :-) he can see very firm about things. But he is one of the most friendly guys I know, in an engaging the community way! Thanks again, :-) Art FitzSimmons.
"On August 6 1942, Hilter walks a "Velvet carpet" of human bodies to reach the oil wells of the Caucasus, Soviet territory. The bodies are all male and wear boots and swastika armbands, so the reference seems to be German soldiers killed in the campaign. The German offensive in the Caucasus began July 25 and bogged down in the mountains during the winter of 1942-43. (Page 124)
Dr. Seuss rarely drew Britain... Great Britain took a strong stand against Hitler and bore the brunt of his air attacks in 1940-41. Given the role of Great Britain in the war and particularly in the American run-up to the war, this relative absence is itself noteworthy. Nor did Dr. Seuss ever draw British leader Winston Churchill, the focus of so many wartime cartoons that emphasized his cigar, his paunch, and his "V for Victory" sign. (Page 124)
