The painting "War Cripples" by Otto Dix at the exhibition "Degenerate Art". The exhibition "Degenerate Art" was opened on 27 February 1938 in the Haus der Kunst on the Koenigsplatz in Berlin (preliminary photo from 24.02.1938). This touring exhibition started on 19 July 1937 in Munich and displayed about 650 confiscated artwork from 32 German museums. In the Nazi regime all artworks and cultural movements that did not conform to the understanding of art and the beauty ideal of the national socialists were considered "degenerate art".
