The Intricacies of History Unraveled

Two side-by-side maps of Germany show the distribution of Catholic population (Map 1) and National Socialist (NSDAP) vote percentages (Map 2) from 1932-1934. Both maps use similar black-and-white shading to indicate population/vote density, visually revealing that areas with the highest Catholic populations also correspond to areas with the highest NSDAP vote percentages. The joke relies on the visual correlation between Catholic regions and Nazi electoral success, implying a causal link that is historically inaccurate.
