Caption competition: Look at the cartoons about Hitler and his invasion of Russia.

Look carefully at what is happening, and think about what the cartoonist is trying to say. Think of a
caption for each of them!

Example:

What is shown? What is the cartoonist


trying to say?

This cartoon shows the Russian leader,


Joseph Stalin, as a waiter. Instead of a
knife and fork, he holds the symbols of
Communism, the hammer and sickle. Adolf
Hitler is shown as a roasted pig which
suggests that he has been defeated – as
we know that he was in Russia after
Operation Barbarossa.
What caption would you give the
cartoon?
NB: I didn’t make this one up, it’s the real
one – but I’d like you to have a go at
inventing your own.
The caption is “They’re serving Roast
Adolf at Joe’s House tonight’, suggesting
that the Russians are celebrating their
victory.
