"I Think I Hear Somebody Knocking" is a 1945 political cartoon by Clifford K. Berryman, depicting Nazi leaders Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler at a table, with various doors around them labeled with borders of invaded nations. The cartoon depicts the Nazi regime as besieged by the Allies during World War II, with the "knocking" symbolizing the inevitable defeat facing them. The simple linework and exaggerated features are characteristic of Berryman's style, known for its sharp satire and relatable imagery. This cartoon, like many of his others, was widely circulated during the war, offering a powerful visual commentary on the political climate of the time.
