The Goose-Step
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the cartoon. For other uses of the term, see Goose-step (disambiguation)
The Goose-Step is a political cartoon by E. H. Shepard, drawn in 1936.
It shows an armed goose marching down a road. There is a swastika on its chest, and it is stepping on a torn Locarno Pact. The Goose holds an olive branch in its beak with a label reading "Pax Germanica" attached to it. There are many Nazi flags sticking out of the buildings it is walking past. Below the drawing of the goose there is a short poem, which parodies the nursery rhyme Goosey Goosey Gander:
- The Goose-Step
- "Goosey Goosey Gander.
- Whither dost thou wander?"
- "Only through the Rheinland—
- Pray excuse my Blunder!"
