Below this title, there's a subheading "MIMIKRY" and a body of text in German, discussing a historical context. There is visual artwork that includes a depiction of a man wearing a military-style uniform with metals and badges, holding what appears to be a round object with an emblem on it. The round object prominently features the year "1934."

Here is a description of the image:

This is a political photomontage, likely a cover for a magazine, featuring German figures and text. The title of the magazine, "AIZ," is prominently displayed at the top in large letters. Below that is the title "MIMIKRY" and a description in German. The cover date is stated as April 19, 1934.

The image portrays Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi politician, appearing to adjust a large, unkempt beard onto Adolf Hitler. Hitler is dressed in a Nazi military-style uniform with a black armband emblazoned with a white swastika. He is holding a plaque featuring socialist symbols—a hammer and sickle— along with an eagle and a swastika. Hitler's eyes look directly at the viewer and his face seems almost emotionless. The image appears to be making a statement about the Nazi regime attempting to appeal to the working class.

The overall aesthetic of the image is somewhat monochromatic, with a sepia-tone color scheme. The photomontage is credited to John Heartfield at the bottom.

This is a photomontage that served as a satirical commentary published in the AIZ (Arbeiter-Illustrierte Zeitung) newspaper in April 1934. It critiques the tactics of the Nazi regime, particularly the Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels.

Here's a breakdown:

• Main Image: The image features a sepia-toned composition. A figure that is dressed in a Nazi uniform, sporting a full beard styled after Karl Marx, is having his face adjusted by a man dressed in a suit that appears to be Joseph Goebbels.

• Text/Title: The title "AIZ" is prominently displayed at the top. Below this is the newspaper's publishing information. "MIMIKRY" is the title, which translates to "mimicry" in English.

• Satirical Commentary: The main body of text elaborates on the idea of "mimicry." It suggests that after failing to win over workers with their existing strategies, Goebbels has resorted to a desperate measure: having Hitler adopt the appearance of Karl Marx (the symbol of communism) to try and gain the support of the working class.

• Secondary text: The secondary text provides a news clipping from April 8, 1934, about the National Labor Front's May Day poster, where it included the hammer and sickle to appeal to the working class.

The image serves as a clear warning about the Nazi regime's opportunistic and propagandistic methods, their willingness to appropriate imagery and symbolism from their political opponents to achieve their goals. John Heartfield, the artist, was a master of political photomontage.

The image is a propaganda poster from Nazi Germany, dated April 10, 1934. The title "AIZ" at the top refers to the publication "Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung," a communist magazine.

The poster features a caricature of a bearded man in a military uniform, being styled by a man in a suit. The bearded man is likely a representation of Karl Marx, the founder of Marxist theory, and the man in the suit is styling him to resemble Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany.

The text on the poster reads:

"MIMIKRY
Nachdem alle Versuche, die nationalsozialistischen Ideen in die Arbeiterschaft zu tragen, erfolglos geblieben waren, ist Göbbels auf einen letzten verzweifelten Einfall gekommen: er hat den 'Führer' überredet, fortan, wenn er vor Arbeitern spricht, sich einen Karl Marx-Bart umzuhängen."

Translation:
"MIMICRY
After all attempts to bring National Socialist ideas to the workers have failed, Goebbels has come up with a last desperate idea: he has persuaded the 'Führer' to henceforth, when speaking to workers, to wear a Karl Marx beard."

The poster is a satirical critique of the Nazi regime's attempts to appeal to the working class by adopting elements of socialist ideology. It suggests that the Nazis are trying to mimic socialist figures like Karl Marx to gain support from workers. The image and text together convey a message of ridicule towards the Nazi propaganda efforts.

This image is a satirical political poster created in 1934 by the artist John Heartfield for the Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung (AIZ), a German anti-fascist publication. The poster criticizes the actions of Joseph Goebbels, a prominent Nazi propaganda minister.

Key Elements:

1. Main Figure: The central figure is dressed in a Nazi Party uniform, complete with the swastika and other Nazi insignias. However, the figure’s face is that of Karl Marx, the founder of Marxism, known for his socialist and communist ideologies. The juxtaposition of Marx’s face with Nazi symbolism is the core of the satire.

2. Secondary Figure: In the background, a man is seen meticulously applying makeup to the Karl Marx figure. This man, wearing a suit and tie, is a representation of Joseph Goebbels. The act of applying makeup symbolizes Goebbels’ role in propaganda and his attempt to manipulate and disguise the true nature of the Nazi regime.

3. Text: The German text at the top and bottom of the image provides context and commentary. It criticizes the Nazi Party's attempt to co-opt and misrepresent socialist ideas. The text at the bottom translates to: "After all attempts to carry the national socialist ideas to the working class have failed, Goebbels has come up with a new, dubious idea: he has overruled the 'Führer' and, from now on, whenever he speaks to the workers, he has himself hung up like Karl Marx."

4. Title: The large "AIZ" at the top left corner indicates that this is a publication by Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung, a left-leaning German magazine that opposed the Nazi regime.

This poster is a powerful piece of political satire, highlighting the contradictions and propaganda tactics of the Nazi regime, particularly in their attempts to manipulate and misrepresent socialist ideals for their own ends.
