Yep, you are right! Looks like the author of this brief leaflet gathered some epithets, that had been used in anti-German pamphlets, and attempted to return these words back, by way of an accentuated sarcastic retort.
Thanks for clarifying that. I got the sense of it but verbal humour of this type clearly doesn’t travel well!
In a similar vein to the press photo above... “English prisoners on the way to Berlin” taken in France May-June 1940.
The caption looks like "Englische Gefangene auf dem Wege nach Berlin" (English POW on the way to Berlin).
Interesting how the word "Tommy" is written - Tommi. Actually, the correct spelling in German is the same, as in English. But the caption writer put it down just in this way.
Does anyone know which BEF units were fighting in the vicinity of Albert at the time? Drew5233 maybe?
12th Division: 7th Royal West Kent at Peronne and Albert, 6th Royal West Kent and 5th Buffs in Doullens, 7th Royal Sussex in south of Amiens, 2/5/6/7th Queen's Regiment at Abbeville
Great Photos. The 4th from the top, - with the kilted Highlander and the destroyed bridge is taken on the Canal de L'aire a La Bassee, probably at the Cuinchy bridge, and the British POWs are from 1st Bn Queens Own Cameron Highlanders (kilt and tartan shoulder patch) and maybe another unit, possibly 7th Worcesters as they were in this sector - not so easy to identify as QOCH if the shoulder patch isn't visible. Note how the POWs are wielding shovels/spades and clearly involved in maintaining a military roadway - not quite in the spirit of the Geneva Convention.
I can read "Gefangen Französischen und Engländer....." but not the place name...unless its "Norwegen"...The houses and trees don't look like the coast of Northern France to me
