Description:
The children of Antwerp is a 1943 vintage German - Hungarian WWII war propaganda poster.
On 5 April 1943 the US bombed Mortsel, a city and municipality close to the city of Antwerp located in the Belgian province of Antwerp. The Americans were targetting the German ERLA aircraft factory, but the bombs missed their target, falling on the centre of Mortsel (Oude God), the Gevaert factory and a school instead. A total of 936 people died, including 209 children. The German and Axis propaganda machine saw this as a great opportunity to discredit the Allied bombardments. (source: antwerpcommemorates.be)
