From the above picture, this is cartoonist David Low’s precise depiction of the results of appeasement. Using the “spineless leaders of democracy” as stepping stones, Hitler marches towards his final destination. Here, each of the national leaders symbolizes or represents democracy. As we all know, Hitler too has gone on to become an iconic symbol of despotism. By portraying Hitler, a figure of terror and militarism, in a nose thumbing posture, the cartoonist invites you not only to laugh but also further emphasises the stark gravity of the situation during the world wars. It was chaos and mayhem all over the world during those times.
This was used as a source based question in history. It depicts the propaganda of Hitler when he was governing Germany. While some may say he was Nazi-ish, others may feel that his way of governing was for the ‘good of everyone’.
By stomping all over the ‘spineless leaders of democracy’, this however sends a message that Hitler is anti-democracy and the image of him walking over and up ‘to the skies’, is a sign that he has lorded over democracy and proven it to be weaker than his style of governing.
You may also notice that some of the leaders are still alive; this could have meant that Hitler overthrew them or forced them out of the party. Those that are dead indicates that he might have killed them to get to where he was.
Source based question! HAHAHAHHA
