Der Totentanz von 1944

Der HurenWirt Futsches Reich

From Die Zeitung, 8th September 1944, a German newspaper published in London during the war.

The artist, Walter Trier, must have looked into "Ein altdeutscher Totentanz", an early 20th century reprint of Der Doten Dantz mit Figuren. The Death attacking "Der Himmler" is from the front page of this reprint, while this is the Death going for "Der Führer", this one greets "Der Marreschal", and this one leads "Der General" away.
