Comment

The subject in K-581 must be understood as pointing to the future. The constellation of the planets, Mars and Jupiter which periodically in 1940 and 1941 came near our horizon, tries to point to great events. The world globe, dominated by the swastika, shows in the background the pursuing squads of bombers accomplishing the final destruction. The reverse shows the counting of time at Christ's birth, where we had allegedly the same constellation as at the time of Charlemagne and Johannes Kepler, the great astronomer. Above the shield with the swastika, one sees a walking Taurus, symbolic of the month of Hitler's birth, but also the symbol for Europe.
