'Naziland – Hitler’s Addled Egg'
A densely detailed wartime satirical map by Ronald Lampitt, published after the partition of Poland but before the invasion of France and the Low Countries, and unusually well-informed—likely reflecting Lampitt’s own wartime work in Intelligence. Germany appears as a frenetic, paranoid landscape where every problem is blamed on imaginary “British spies,” who pop up everywhere in comic disguises. Hitler look-alikes are invited to "apply here". Poland is shown with a concentration camp and forced-labour columns, while minorities are driven into occupied territory from the Baltic States. Throughout "Naziland," "No Jews" signs, and shuttered & confiscated Jewish properties foreshadow the Holocaust. The composition swarms with goose-stepping regiments, armament factories, propaganda rallies, and secret-police activity, all under a brooding Nazi eagle representing Hitler’s “addled egg.” One of Lampitt’s most striking and incisive propaganda maps, notable for its manic detail and sharp insight into the mechanisms and paranoia of the Third Reich.
