Winston Churchill by Seymour Chwast, Push Pin Graphic #80, 1979, via the excellent Charles Forsman:
Also in WW2 notes: “Investigators have found that in 2007 the German Intelligence Service (BND) destroyed files of 250 BND employees who had been in the Nazi SS or Gestapo. The BND confirmed the loss, calling it ‘regrettable and annoying’”. The past is not dead, it is not even past: but it can be rendered a vanished irritation.

“Annoying?” Is this an odd translation or just German whimsy about covering up for Nazis?

I guess that kind-of looks like WSC from the nostrils down, but feck knows where the eyes came from.

That’s an absolutely terrible picture of Churchill. Looks like Wallace Shawn in a hat.
