One of George Grosz's drawings for Erwin Piscator's staging of The Good Soldier Švejk criticized by authorities, leading to a three-year trial and eventual acquittal.
Controversial drawing of Christ wearing a gas mask, among others, from the portfolio created for the play led to accusations of insulting Christian institutions.
Wieland Herzfelde, co-defendant with Grosz, hid the banned Christ drawing for years, eventually bequeathing it to Berlin's Academy of Arts in the 1980s.
