Description

A towering, grotesque Nazi soldier with exaggerated features wears a swastika armband and a helmet. He holds a bomb in one hand and is about to shake Franco’s hand with the other. Franco is drawn as a short man. Behind Franco, a group of men form a precarious human totem pole. Stacked atop one another are a priest, a member of the oligarchy, a military man, and a Falangist/monkey at the top, raising a sign that reads “ARRIBA ESPAÑA.” Franco salutes the Nazi soldier who Nazi returns the gesture.
Un imponente y grotesco soldado nazi con rasgos exagerados lleva un brazalete con una esvástica y un casco. Lleva una bomba en una mano y está a punto de darle la otra mano a Franco, dibujado bajito. Detrás de Franco, un grupo de hombres forma un precario tótem humano. Apilados uno encima del otro hay un sacerdote, un miembro de la oligarquía, un militar y un mono falangista en la parte superior, levantando un cartel que dice "ARRIBA ESPAÑA". Franco saluda al soldado nazi que le devuelve el gesto.
