JERRY COSTELLO, Albany Knickerbocker News
The day before Czechoslovakia capitulated to the German Army, Jerry Costello drew the emaciated German people starving as manufacturing overtook agricultural labor. Although German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels had admitted on March 5, 1939, his country was barely able to feed its people, his goal had been to goad the German people into working toward self-sufficiency, not to undermine the war effort. Costello spent forty years of his forty-seven-year career as a cartoonist at the Albany Knickerbocker News, from 1922 to 1962.
