Flatter, Joseph (1894 - 1988)

Flatter, Joseph (1894 - 1988)

Born in Austria, Flatter studied at the Vienna Academy of Art. He moved to London in 1934, largely because of his opposition to Hitler. After the annexation of Austria by Germany in March 1938 Flatter began a series of anti-Nazi cartoons, designed to show what a threat he believed Hitler to be. Speaking later Flatter said “the moving force was hatred” in his decision to take up cartooning. When the Second World War began Flatter was briefly interned as an ‘enemy alien’. Once released be became an official war artist and attended the Nuremberg War Trials in this capacity. Many of his cartoons are now in the Imperial War Museum’s archives.
