A cartoon by Stathis Stavropoulos, staff cartoonist for the ...
Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:20:03 +0200 (Reuters) - A cartoon by Stathis Stavropoulos, staff cartoonist for the liberal daily Eleftherotypia, which depicts Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos (C) is seen in this handout photo obtained by Reuters on October 26, 2011. The dark shadow of German-driven austerity measures squeezing Greece has revived historical enmities and evoked comparisons to the massive destruction of the Mediterranean country at the hands of Nazi Germany over 65 years ago. Cartoons have sprung up depicting the European Union's "troika" as ferocious soldiers in World War Two German uniforms, and some Greeks are beginning to resent the German tourists flocking their ancient sites. Stavropoulos has drawn dozens of such cartoons in recent months, often showing Venizelos giving the Nazi salute "Sieg Heil" (Hail Victory) to a soldier. "I used the German uniforms symbolically," cartoonist Stathis Stavropoulos told Reuters through an interpreter. They show that what Germany did not manage with weapons during World War Two, it is now trying to do through economic means," he said.
