This chapter examines the media production of the US Office of War Information (OWI) in Stockholm, 1942–1945.

While considerable attention has been devoted to the digital media landscape of the right, less emphasis is given to left-wing movements and memetic warfare. Through analysis of humorous representations of German Nazis in the films, where N
