Description
Hitler climbing mountain carrying Nazi war machine. Germany (represented by Hitler) has come to the end of their first year of fighting the Russian front. The Germany army was ill-equipped and the first year was a struggle. The cartoon suggests that the second year will be even more of a struggle for Germany.
