Since 1845, its “funny stories and whimsical illustrations” have captivated readers around the world in many different editions. Well-known characters include Fidgety Philipp and Pauline and the Matches.

Schicklgrüber. Der Anti-Hitler-Struwwelpeter Eine politische Struwwelpeter-Parodie von 1943

Eine politische Struwwelpeter-Parodie von 1943 Schicklgrüber. Der Anti-Hitler-Struwwelpeter

In this political Struwwelpeter parody, a true masterpiece of political satire and caricature, which was published in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1943, we meet the main protagonists of the Second World War in satirical disguise: Adolf Hitler as ‘Struwwelpeter’ and ‘Bitterböser Friederich’, Benito Mussolini as ‘Wilder Jägersmann’, France's Marianne as ‘Daumenlutscher’ with Général de Gaulle as ‘Frau Mama’, Hermann Göring as ‘Suppenkaspar’, Finland as ‘Zappelphilipp’, Joachim von Ribbentrop as ‘Hans Guck-in-die Luft’, Rudolf Hess as ‘Fliegender Robert’ and many others. The title ‘Schicklgrüber’ refers to the name of Hitler's illegitimate father, Alois Schicklgruber, and Hitler's grandmother, Anna-Maria Schicklgruber, which was often used in the English-speaking world to denigrate Adolf Hitler - and was therefore also the actual birth name of the ‘Führer’.
