A full collection of Hitleriada Macabra prints by Stanislaw Toegel, 1946, cover a/f
Stansilav Toegel was a lawyer, amateur artist and Polish Army reservist officer. Captured after the fall of Poland in 1939, he escaped and served with the Polish resistance until being taken prisoner once again in the aftermath of the ill-fated Warsaw uprising. Sent to a labour camp at Gottingen, Germany, he was forced to work at a paper mill where, in clandestine and at risk of instant execution, he drew the original cartoons ridiculing Hitler and his cohorts, and depicting the cruel depravity of their regieme. In 1946, the cartoons were compiled and published in limited quantities by Antoni Markiewicz.
