Description

A black-and-white political cartoon depicts a towering, grotesque Nazi soldier with a swastika armband, helmet, and exaggerated features, smiling over a small group of Spanish fascist figures. These Spanish figures form a precarious human totem pole, stacked one atop another: a priest, a member of the oligarchy, a military man, and a Falangist/monkey at the top, raising a sign that reads “ARRIBA ESPAÑA.” Franco salutes the Nazi figure, and the Nazi returns the gesture mockingly.

Transcription

Un soldado-monstruo, con la esvástica en su brazo y una bomba en su mano, le da la mano a un Franco pequeño. El dictador está con la iglesia, la oligarquía, el ejercito, y un mono-Falangista, quien sostiene una pancarta que dice "Arriba España". Están en de pie en los hombros de los otros para ser tan altos como el monstruo Nazi, simbolizando que Franco y sus seguidores son tan letales como el Nazismo.
