DER FUEHRER’S FACE
OBSERVATIONS BY DAVID LOW. “PRETTY ORDINARY DIAL.” “ ‘Der Fuehrer’s face is the face of Germany,’ says Goebbels. Well, what would you call that? Poetry or tripe? Listen: ‘The furrows of hardness, determination and all the deep suffering for the people, and in a broader sense, for humanity, of endurance and sacrifice, of bitterness and of strain have become manifest for every eye,’ says he. Now, this is certainly pure bosh. I’m a caricaturist. Faces are my business; and we have been following this particular face around for twenty years now —ever since it made its first putsch into politics in 1923. Latterly with the aid of excellent photographs—Hitler is fond of having his photograph taken. By his very latest photographs the face has gone distinctly puffy and flabby. The fretful little mouth has become more fretful and the eyes are more anxious, which is not to be wonder&d at. Otherwise it is the same pretty ordinary dial.” —David Low in a 8.8. C. broadcast.
