"The Traffic in Foreigners is Picking Up!" (September 1914)
The satirical magazine Kladderadatsch presents an optimistic war-time spirit in late September 1914. Germany's enemies are brought back to Berlin in chains. The cartoon shows British, French, and Russian officers, but also representative peoples from the Allies' colonial territories, who were forced to fight in the First World War.
