In the picture of Hitler to the far right, there is a swastika symbol over where his heart should be. I feel that this photomontage is trying to show that this cruel man really is heartless. This photomontage is a photo of Hitler's upper body, and a rib cage added to give the viewer an inside look at his skeletal system. If you look deeper, you see that there is no heart, but instead, a takes it's place.
In the photo to the right, there is a body of a dead jew sprawled out across a swastika. This photo is trying to depict the Germans' dominance over the jewish race, along with the countless amount of other groups. This photo was compared to a previous photo of an angel lying dead across a compass.
