Art of the apocalypse: Otto Dix's hellish first world war visions – in pictures. Skull (Schädel). The war provided a windfall for scavengers such as worms and maggots. Trench rats roamed as big as beavers. Gas was sometimes a welcome respite as it decimated these pests.

Skulls wearing gas masks, roaming rats and rotting carcasses of animals and humans ...
