- A satirical map attacking the Axis by the artist Arthur Szyk, published in Esquire Magazine in 1942. Goebbels welcomes General Tojo to the Axis, announcing that "Now that you've joined us, the Fuhrer will make a special map for you," as Hitler paints the swastika over a bloody map of South and Latin America.
Szyk was a Polish Jew whose work typically featured social and political issues. He emigrated to London in 1937 and to New York in 1940, and produced a number of attacks on the Nazis before and during World War II.
