The cartoon appeared in 'Urzica', a Romanian satirical magazine published from 1949 to 1989.
The rake reads 'AID' while the small caption below reads: 'They once called it a rake, now they call it "aid"'.
The rake's prongs are labelled: International Railways of Central America, Empresa Electrica, United Fruit Company, Tropical Oil Company, Metal and Ore Corporation.
Warships are also shown patrolling the Atlantic.
Göring was appointed Reich Master of the Hunt (Reichsjägermeister) in 1933, becoming the head of the newly-formed German Hunting Society (Deutsche Jägerschaft).
Göring pictured on a 1939 hunt, the inspiration for Hommel's portrait:
The postcard reproduces a painting by Conrad Hommel, who painted portraits of a number of Nazi leaders around the same time.
Another of Hommel's showing Göring as Generalfeldmarschall:
The pamphlet was written by Diarmaid Ó Súilleabháin, who argues that British defeat is inevitable ('they are both embarrassed and wearied by their country's military and political involvement in Ireland') and writes in support of Sinn Féin's 'Éire Nua' (New Ireland) proposal for a federal united Ireland.
Ó Súilleabháin was an Irish language writer and active republican, apparently being arrested for a speech given in Wexford, according to one obituary.

'A pledge for continuous struggle against imperialism and global Zionism' — Palestinian poster showing Yasser Arafat with Castro, 1974
'The end of the hate film' — Nazi German cartoon (1935) showing Goebbels battling the Jewish film industry
Drawn by Oskar Garvens for Kladderadatsch magazine, published in May 1935 shortly after the International Film Congress.
One contemporary report published in the Darmstädter Tagblatt newspaper (1 May 1935) quotes Goebbels congratulating delegates for joining the push against the 'Hetzfilm' ('hate film' or 'incitement film').
The detail comes from a poster promoting the 1918 film Pershing's Crusaders, which documented the American mobilisation following the US' entry into the war in April 1917.
Another advertisement for the film.
The film was produced by the Committee on Public Information, the US government's official wartime propaganda agency, and shot by US Signal Corps and Navy photographers.
