"A mort les boches" ("Death to the Germans"), WW1 French antique game

"A mort les boches" ("Death to the Germans"), WW1 French antique game (France, c.1915)
The propaganda of the warring nations found its way even into children's rooms. This French game includes three figures in German uniforms that raise their arms to signal surrender. The children could "shoot" these "boches" by throwing balls at them. This toy is made of paper mache, steel and aluminium (Dresden Bundeswehr Military History Museum).
