Why did Napoleon appear on Soviet posters? (PICS)
Soviet propaganda actively exploited the image of the French emperor in the first months of the German invasion. The goal was to convince the Soviet public that Hitler would inevitably suffer the same inglorious defeat as Bonaparte suffered in 1812.
Napoleon was defeated. The same will happen to the arrogant Hitler!
So it was… so it will be!
Oh, that bandit Hitler's face will be beaten!
So it was! So it will be!
Napoleon was cold in Russia, but Hitler will be hot!
"They cite Napoleon, insisting that Hitler acts like Napoleon and that he resembles Napoleon in everything. But, firstly, we shouldn't forget Napoleon's fate. And, secondly, Hitler resembles Napoleon no more than a kitten resembles a lion…" Stalin
Well, Adolf, you're not getting it right here.
