Hitler's propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, and a German sailor look on in pleased surprise. The caption, "Sieg heil" was the Nazi salute. On September 4, the U.S.S. Destroyer Greer, on its way to Iceland, was attacked by a German submarine. The Greer returned fire with depth charges. The German press claimed that the Greer had fired first. The cartoonist casts scorn on the predilection of the Isolationists to believe Nazi propaganda.Authorized Access PointKirby, Rollin, 1875-1952 Sieg heil!
