Message of the cartoon The cartoonist is representing graphically the remilitarisation

of the Rhineland. I believed that the message of the cartoon is
to show that Hitler was like a Goose (Hitler was stupid).
Through the irony the cartoonist is trying to said that Hitler
wasn’t looking for peace. He is also showing that Hitler didn’t
care about Locarno treaties, he was ignoring it. Drawing the
place empty of people maybe he is trying to say that people of
Rhineland was scared of remilitarisation.
