EDITORS COMMENTS
During the tumultuous events of the Second World War, tensions between Greece and its Allies, particularly Britain and America, reached a boiling point. This poignant propaganda postcard from circa 1940, obtained from Mary Evans Prints Online, reflects the anti-Allied sentiment that was prevalent in Greece at the time. The Greek text on the postcard translates to " Greeks! If you are sorrowful for the future of your children - pity the British children who are being placed into the hands of the Americans!" The image on the postcard depicts a group of British children being herded like cattle, with American soldiers leading them away. The contrast between the helpless and fearful expressions on the children's faces and the determined, authoritative posture of the American soldiers creates a powerful and unsettling image. The use of the word "pity" in the text adds an element of sympathy and emotional appeal, as the Greeks were encouraged to feel compassion for their own children's future, while also recognizing the potential suffering of British children under American control. The fate of Greece during the war was a source of great concern for its people, and this propaganda postcard reflects the anti-Allied sentiment that was prevalent in some circles. The use of children as symbols of the future and the potential consequences of the war highlights the emotional impact of the conflict on civilians, and serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationships between nations during times of war.
