Yep. Good one.
Remnants of good, funny photo / poster / cartoon humour in WW2 are hard to find.

Re: non funny newspaper cartoons - for history buffs
There is a decent collection here:
World War II Through Cartoons | McCord Museum

and from the other side's perspective, Lustige Blätter here: WWII Nazi Cartoons

From Wikipedia:

A common stylisation of Erin Go Bragh, in a pseudo-Gaelic font.


Erin Go Bragh (sometimes Erin Go Braugh) is the Anglicisation of a Gaelic phrase used to express allegiance to Ireland. It is most often translated as "Ireland Forever"[1] and pronounced /ˌɛrɪn ɡə ˈbrɔː/.
