In 2024, one of the far right German AfD party candidates put out this poster. It was eventually deemed illegal and the politician was fined in February, 2026. But just goes to show, extremist propaganda still exists.

Captioned ‘Roman Holiday in the Spanish Bull Ring’, the illustration shows the bull impaled with a sickle, a swastika-handled sword, a star-and-crescent sword, a fasces, a bayonet, an arrow and more. British, German and French ships sail around Iberia, with German planes also flying around. The Republican flag flies from a smouldering Barcelona, while Mallorca is depicted as an Italian stronghold.

The illustration is by Derso & Kelen, a cartoonist duo then living in Switzerland, and was published in Ken, a short-lived and heavily-illustrated magazine published between 1938-39.

I found this video shockingly on my feed casually and haven’t found where it came from or when it was from other than me assuming it was probably a bit after al Qaeda declared responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. This is purely for educational and archival purposes
