A young Polish Winged Hussar pulls a bloodied sword from the body of a black eagle with a red beak representing Germany which he has defeated and trampled underfoot. Behind the Hussar, the white eagle of Poland stretches its wings in victory against the silhouette of a blasted tree, symbol of the devastation of the war.
