This piece of propaganda, though perhaps not a poster, was just as effective to the German people because it was a stamp. In some of the propaganda that I've seen from Germany, there seems to be a reappearing theme of the hatred of Great Britain. After translating the German on the bottom (with help from google translate) I learned that it says, "We go against England." Using this, i can only assume that the picture is of the King of England lost at Sea. The King, though supported by a life raft, seems to either be wearing chain mail or he is dressed to look like he has fish scales. He is also wearing a viking hat, perhaps to suggest that he is like a viking and semi barbarian like. The fish seem like they are laughing at him, maybe to suggest that even fish are better than the King of England?
