Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty as Hitler? Is This an Intentional Visual Reference?

Again we see three images arranged vertically on the page, as befits the fall from a high wall. This illustration, however, has a darker tone and a sharper humor. Is it just a coincidence that this 1942 image of Humpty by a Russian born artist who was a prisoner of war in Poland during World War I, lived in Paris from 1927 to 1941, and immigrated to the U.S. after the German occupation of France in 1941 reminds older viewers of Hitler? Are those soldiers standing in the broken egg in the final image helping or celebrating?
