The image shows a group of people in uniform, with Adolf Hitler prominently positioned at the center, walking towards the camera. Hitler is shown in full-body, wearing a military-style uniform with knee-high boots, a cross-shaped pin on his jacket, and holding a cap in one hand. His facial features include a distinctive mustache and slicked-back hair. To the sides, other uniformed individuals accompany him. A man in a civilian suit with a camera is visible to the left. The background is filled with a crowd giving the Nazi salute, and several swastika flags can be seen raised above them. There is handwritten text over the image that reads, "The Cause of World War II 1939-1945."
