Here is a little bit of help with the interpretation:

“A tied-up Nazi watches while a Jew holding the Berliner Tageblatt, which the Nazis accused of being a Jewish paper, mistreats a Germany chained to the Treaty of Versailles. The Jew is probably supposed to be a journalist, since he is smearing Gemany with his pen. A Black French colonial soldier and a policeman assist. The policeman is likely Polish” or French (“since Germany lost territory to Poland” and France “as a result of the Treaty of Versailles)”. Those Damned Nazis (1932) (calvin.edu)
