I think the top image is actually American or British WIII propaganda – saying the enemy is the Nazis, who are trampling on biblical morals and beliefs. It’s in English. If it were in German then I’d think it was meant to be a Nazi propaganda image against Christianity/religion). I didn’t think the Nazis were anti-Christian (though Catholics were not considered “as Christian”?) but not sure how they reconciled the fact that the Old Testament is all about Jews… and Jesus was Jewish.
The pro-Nazi church was the German Christians (Nazi ideology + “cleansed” theology); the opponents were the signers of the Barmen Declaration (1934, Lutheran, Reformed, United Church), the so-called Confessing Church. My interpretation of the top image is that Nazi ideology has killed Christian faith and its Biblical basis.
Interesting contrast.
