DESCRIPTION

A satirical map of pre-war Nazi Germany shows what Hitler would consider Heaven, namely book-burning festivals, a "factory devoted exclusively to making medals for Goering," concentration camps, and a Nazi soldier pushing a large Viking figure up a hill as "the New Theology." An Austrian maiden is chained by the foot with a note that it is "purely a cultural tie." The compass rose carries a swastika, and a large cloud over Germany is named "Herr Goebbels" and blows propaganda (or "more baloney") at the country. It was drawn by Richard Q Yardley and published in the second issue of Ken Magazine (21 April 1938), a controversial anti-fascist magazine.
