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 ... Der Krieg, the series of prints Otto Dix published in 1924, is a terrifying vision of the apocalypse that actually happened on Europe's soil 100 years ago – and proves that it was only German artists who saw the first world war clearly
