Pinchfield

Pinchfield Farm

In Animal Farm Pinchfield farm is parallels Germany in WWII in a variety of ways.


 * Foxwood represents the US. It is said in reference to Foxwood and Pinchfield that, "The two disliked each other so much that it was difficult for them to come to an agreement." During this time, the US and Germany hated eachother because of the war.
 * In the war, Russia and Germany signed a non-aggression pact. The two joined together to take over some surrounding countries. Germany then decided to invade Russia in a surprise attack. This betrayal is shown in the book when Pinchfield (Germany) uses counterfeit money to pay for the timber from Animal Farm (Russia)
 * In the book, all negotiations and communication to Pinchfield from Animal Farm are cut off. The Pigeons are even told not to fly near Pinchfield.

Although Mr. Frederick can be seen as a representative mixture of all of the leaders of Germany, he mostly resembles Hitler. Hitler leads Germany and Frederick leads Pinchfield, therefore Pinchfield is representative of Germany



Frederick abused his animals. This is a parallel to what Hitler did to people.
