Raubstaat England

Robber state England

The anti-british propaganda set issued by Reemtsma during World war 2. The set illustrates an anti-british history starting around the time of Henry the 7th who it is claimed founded the British plutocracy. The history continues with Henry the 8th and Elizabeth the 1st along with famous sailors such as Drake and Hawkins. Supposedly they were in reality nothing more than pirates. Actually when I read this, I remembered something my old headmaster told me. "Francis Drake was really just a pirate", he said. When I think about it, I suppose in reality he was but the English consider him a hero as he was on their side. Raubstaat England presents an alternative perspective.

British soldiers use Boer women as shields during the Boer war.
