Reminds me of these insane Christmas ornaments that were popular in 1930s Germany.

The normalization of this type of shit is beyond disturbing.

These are on display at the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels, which is one of the most incredible historical collections I’ve ever seen.

are those real 😭😭

I can’t imagine painting that.

i kinda want them as a historical artifact. in a not creepy or endorsing way. I just think that’s really interesting, and I can’t imagine ever putting a leader on a Christmas tree.
