Description |
This satirical caricature by Polish artist Stanislaw Toegel shows Adolf Hitler in a exaggerated manner. He is portrayed with distorted proportions. His head and facial features are unnaturally elongated, and his body appears frail and stiff. His exaggerated stance, performing the Nazi salute. A green amorphous shape in the background looms behind him. The caption "To-day Germany, to-morrow the world" references the aggressive expansionist policy of Nazi Germany and Hitler's delusions of global dominations. The illustration is part of Toegel's Hitleriada Furiosa series, which was created immediately following World War II as a way to ridicule and document the crimes of Nazi leaders.
