John Heartfield
John Heartfield was a Berlin artist and a main component to he Berlin Dada movement, along with Grosz they invented the technique of photomontage. Heartfield used the photomontage mainly in political statements, propaganda montages regarding anti-Nazi and anti-
Hitler. 'Adolf - The Superman' (on the left) was said that he swallows gold and spouts junk. All over Berlin
several versions of the poster were put up which caused high controversy with the young Communists and Nazis, fights broke out between the people trying to defend the poster and those who wanted to tear them down.
More examples of his work....

This photo-montage reveals the climate at the time of Hitler and Germanys general view of the Jewish people at that time. It states 'What? No butter or lard? Well then, eat your Jews!'
