    1. Tbf, he was openly calling for their extermination and the Eastern Front was basically hell

      I can see why the average Soviet person basically considered Hitler Satan

    2. American public knowledge of war only from radio and newspapers while Soviet citizens experiencing German atrocities first hand. They more motivated for revenge

    3. Me: How bad could it be?

      *looks up the soviet propaganda and sees Hitler as the anti-Christ, a demon and a vampire*

      Me: Jesus fucking Christ

    4. Does anyone know what this meme is referring to?

      I’ve seen a lot of Soviet anti Hitler posters, and they seem to almost all depict him as a hyper emotional, scrawny buffoon, and really pathetic.

      Is there some demonic powerful Hitler depiction in Soviet propaganda I’m overlooking?

      Edit: for example,

      [pathetic wannabe](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/propaganda-poster-by-koukrynisky-napoleon-was-wiped-out-news-photo/535819801) Napoleon Hitler

      [Weird mutant](https://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters/comments/1l7wkz7/all_for_g_himmeler_g%C3%B6ring_hitler_and_goebbels/) Hitler (and his friends)

      [Stabbed up varmint](https://share.google/EBRHHG9SofhxZMtEk) Hitler

      Can someone please show me an example of a depiction where Hitler isn’t pathetic in Soviet propaganda? I’m having a hard time finding one, though I don’t doubt they exist.

      Edit: okay I found one where he’s a formidable but still outmatched [wolf man](https://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters/comments/anjxyy/the_monster_soviet_antinazi_propaganda_poster_1941/), Still doesn’t seem to be the norm.

      I never was a fan of portraying enemies as incompetent clowns. Underestimating an opponent can be extremely dangerous, it’ll also cheapen any victory against them.
