Not an arcade photo..... but a good depiction of pinball during the war.

I love this cartoon and it created an absolute stink when it was published.

I think its a classic example of how pinball was such popular culture in the 40's. This was printed pre flipper era. I think we post flipper and DMD generations under estimate the popularity of these games in their time. To have the nazi invasion of the western world depicted as a pinball game goes to show just how entrenched these games were in popular culture...or is Hitler playing against his own party?

A clever cartoon
