Description: | image: In the foreground of the composition to the right sits a German infantryman in profile, in his hand, a revolver
(unidentified). Behind him, standing, are three of his comrades holding rifles, their bayonets fixed. The first and shortest of the three
wears a pickelhaube, the remaining two, forage caps. All are overweight and wear oafish expressions as does their seated colleague. The
object of their attention is a naked woman standing centre left of the composition. Her head is hung in shame, her long hair completely
obscuring her features. Her hands are tied behind her back as she stands against a bar which is littered with several wine and spirit
bottles and what appears to be broken glass. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | eating / drinking women / womens work civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France Uniforms Caricature Atrocities and War Crimes Imperial German Army | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Domergue, Jean-Gabriel | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
