Tell them with a Penguin Pen The Banned Books Penguin's commissioning of adverts for their wartime Penguins featured this witty one for their pen. However it backfired when the POW camps in Germany came across this advert in the Red Cross parcels of books and promptly banned all Penguins from German camps. As many POW camps had benefitted from access to Penguins collected by the Red Cross this was a blow. Fortunately The Red Cross and Penguin managed to get Penguins back into the camps a year later. #penguinpen #bannedbooks #POWcamps #redcross #barbedwireuniversities @penguinukbooks @penguincollsoc #penguinbooks
