EDITORS COMMENTS
Anti-German" or "He must have eaten a German" is a satirical political cartoon created by French artist Louis Raemaekers in 1915, published during World War I. This powerful image, now a historical artifact, is a poignant reminder of the bitter animosity and propaganda that fueled the conflict between Germany and the Allied Powers. The cartoon, titled "Poulbot," depicts a rooster named "Poulbot" with a large, menacing German eagle perched on its back. The eagle, with its talons clenched around the rooster's neck, is force-feeding it a large, human-like figure labeled as "Belgium." The caption reads, "He must have eaten a German!" This image was a response to the German invasion of neutral Belgium in August 1914. The atrocities committed during this invasion, including the infamous rape of Belgium, horrified the world and galvanized public opinion against Germany. Raemaekers, a renowned cartoonist, used his art to express the outrage and indignation felt by the Allied Powers and their supporters. "Poulbot" was first published in the Dutch newspaper De Waarheid on October 1, 1915. It quickly gained international attention and was reproduced in newspapers and magazines across Europe and North America. The image became a symbol of anti-German sentiment and was used to rally support for the Allied cause. The cartoon's enduring impact is a testament to the power of political propaganda in shaping public opinion during times of war. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often brutal history of international relations and the role that art and media can play in shaping our collective memory. Today, "Anti-German" or "He must have eaten a German" remains a fascinating and important piece of historical art. It is a reminder of the past and a reminder of the importance of understanding the role of propaganda in shaping our perceptions of history and the world around us.
