Waging War with Hitler’s PenisIts one thing to hate your enemy, but its even more damaging to laugh at your enemy. Obviously that was the philosophy of the British Special Operations Executive during World War II when they planned to drop postcards showing Hitler’s wiener over Germany. In 1943 the SOE, under the direction of Sefton Delmer took a common German postcard of Hitler giving a speech in Munich, 1942, with the intent of creating a morale devastating piece of propaganda. From that photo a parody caricature was derived by artists, supposedly by one Marion Whitehorn, which depicted Hitler holding his penis with the caption taken from the same Munich speech, “What we have, that which we firmly hold”. Hitler’s penis was depicted as circumcised in the hope of spreading the rumor that Hitler was a self hating Jew and a hypocrite.Code named as H.789, it was planned that British Royal Air Force bombers would drop thousands of these postcards all over Germany. 2,500 postcards were printed by March of 1944, but the program was halted by British High Command who saw the postcards as too offensive and obscene. Many high ranking British officers believed the use of such pornographic psychological warfare was barbaric and uncivilized, a curious attitude considering that British High Command had few qualms with carpet bombing German cities. -- source link
