Body Language Definition Exaggerated polite body language - posh. The tipping of the hat (showing respect). Despite their body language - Stalin and Hitler's words: "The scum of the earth I believe." "The bloody assassin of the workers I presume." show that they actually loathe each other - as they are both from opposing sides of the political spectrum.

Both look smug - as they both have conquered Poland - their alliance has served well.

Dead Polish Soldier Definition

Represents how they have met in the middle of Poland after conquering their respective sides of Poland.

Term Clothing Definition

Military uniform - Power and conquest, showing both have power and have conquered Poland.

Guns show that both are ready to kill each other at the drop of a hat - despite their exaggerated two-faced body language indicating that they are being polite.

Overall message Definition

Low is criticising the signing of the pact - and is saying that the two leaders are cynical and deceitful - and that they actually loathe each other (shown by their words). He is also saying "Told you so!" as he has said that the appeasement of Hitler would lead to war.
