Description

The work represents a fascist wearing a typical black cap and boots. He is threatening to throw the world into hell, where a little horned devil is waiting eagerly. Created three years into Hitler's tenure as Chancellor of Germany, this work foreshadows the descent of the world back into another catastrophic global conflict.
