'Flying visit of Truth to Berlin' — British cartoon map from the Second World War celebrating the RAF's first (leaflet) raid over Berlin. Illustrated by Rex Whistler.
The map shows Britannia leading a squadron of putti over Berlin, dispersing leaflets as they go. Hitler, Goering and Goebbels protest impotently at the bottom right, while Ribbentrop cowers under the table.
The No. 10 Squadron flew the RAF's first raid over Berlin on the night of 1 October 1939, with Whitley bombers dropping leaflets over the city.
Good article here about the map, the raid and the leaflets dropped over Germany (not just Berlin) in the early months of the war: barronmaps.com
