"Claws in Claw" is a 1941 political cartoon by the Soviet artistic collective Kukryniksy. The piece satirically depicts the defeat of Nazi Germany, personified by Adolf Hitler, at the hands of the Soviet Union. The artist, using bold lines and exaggerated features, portrays Hitler as trapped in a pair of red pliers, symbolizing the powerful grasp of the Soviet Union. The title, "Claws in Claw", reinforces this idea of a struggle for dominance, ultimately won by the Soviet forces.
