Helmut Herzfeld ... later John Heartfield was a pioneer in political photo collage. In Germany we believe he invented it.

montage of a jackal wearing the Pour le Profite, “Krieg und Leichen—die letzte. Hoffnung der Reichen” (“War and Corpses: The Last Hope of the Wealthy”).

no fear - he is a vegetarian

As far as I know the Image shows Heartfield himself "cutting the head" of a politician (or high ranking police leader who let policemen shoot on workers ... I do not really remember.)

it's about the church in Germany not daring to oppose the nazi regime.

that's a good one:

Hurrah, the buter is gone!
Goering in his Hamburg speech:
"Ore (arch?) always has made an empire strong, butter and lard have only made peoples fat"

The band Blurt that was one of my favourite bands then recorded a song called "Hurrah! Die Butter Ist Alle" on their 1986 album "Poppycock".
