Google translate ain't worth crap - not even as a transliterator.

This is an anti-Nazi propaganda label, which if memory serves, appeared in early 1942. The text on the Cinderella reads:
"In Hitler's words: We will turn Brazil into a German domain."

Germany was hopeful that they might be able to get one of the ABC nations (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) to join the Axis cause up until US entry and we forced much of South America into the Allied camp. When Graf Spee fled to Montevideo, the British had reason to fear she would actually enter Argentine waters, where perhaps a more favorable welcome would be extended.

This is a terrific cover, dated within the first month of Brazil's declaration of war on Germany. Brazil built Hercules engines under license during WW2.
