An amusing little WWII souvenir

I was going through some old family stuff, and came across a letter an uncle wrote to my grandmother. He had been stationed in France during the war. She had referred him to an article in Time magazine about underground modification of currency, an capital offense. In a famous example, French resistors cut out postage stamps and pasted Hitler's head on the 20 Franc bill. In the aftermath of the occupation he found an example and sent it to her. This one is not quite as skillfully done as some - in the best ones, Hitler is more clearly strangled by the fisherman's rope. But still, it's kind of neat. I thought some of you history buffs might find it entertaining.
