Anti-Nazi Propaganda Souvenir
Produced by Depose of Belgium the ashtray
depicts the famous Manneken Pis
(Pissing Boy) of Belgish Folklore urinating on the
Swastika.
The Manneken Pis became the symbol of the city of Brussels Belgium rebellious
spirit over the centuries.
You can read more about the Pissing Boy on
Wikipedia and many other sites over the net.
This was made circa 1944 as a souvenir for
troops that liberated Belgium from the Nazi Occupation in September 1944.
There are numerous versions of the boy and
swastika produced.
This is unique in that the boy is wearing
an American Helmet and it is tipped to one side as was popular amongst GI’s of
the period.
Obviously this combination was aimed at American
Soldiers in the country.



Interestingly America has it’s own version of the Manneken Pis.
