That Voice Again!: A Satirical WWII Greetings Card Featuring Lord Haw-Haw, a.k.a. William Joyce (circa 1942) During the darkest days of World War II, when the Allied forces were facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, a sinister voice echoed across the airwaves, bringing a chilling sense of unease to the hearts of millions. This voice belonged to William Joyce, a British-born American citizen who became infamous as Lord Haw-Haw, the Nazi propagandist who broadcasted nightly anti-British propaganda from Berlin. This wartime greetings card, featuring a satirical take on Lord Haw-Haw, offers a glimpse into the darkly humorous side of the era. The design depicts a donkey with a microphone, mimicking the infamous broadcaster's distinctive voice, with the caption "Hee-Haw, Hee-Haw, That Voice Again!" The use of an animal to represent Lord Haw-Haw adds an element of comic relief, poking fun at the fear and anxiety he instilled in his listeners. The card, which dates back to circa 1942, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit during wartime. Despite the ever-present threat of enemy propaganda, people found ways to laugh and find humor in their daily lives. This card serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a sense of humor, even in the most challenging of times. The intricate design and historical significance of this card make it a valuable piece of ephemera from the 1940s. The card's satirical take on Lord Haw-Haw offers a unique perspective on the wartime era, providing a glimpse into the ways people coped with the fear and uncertainty of the time.
