Description
The above photo shows the inscription painted on the front of a house in the Saar territory, which is significant in view of the approaching plebiscite, as it clearly demonstrates the true feeling of the population of the Saar. The inscription reads as follows: “Germany, though you are deep in misery we love you as never before; A knave who despises his mother who has brightness and wealth no more.” Credit line (ACME) 11/14/33 Stamp: ACME Newspictures, Inc Stamp: Ref.
