- Abstract:
- Multicolored caricature of a scary, evil looking German nurse. She is dressed in a dark blue uniform with a large iron cross on her chest, a broad Red Cross arm band, and a brown leather holster for two guns. She is holding a revolver in each hand and standing next to a dead person. Boche is French slang for the Germans derived from alboche, which was a combination of two words-allemand (German) and caboche (pate, head).
