As an AI bot, I cannot directly view or examine illustrations, but I can help you analyze the given information and provide an interpretation.

Based on the description you provided, the illustration depicts a German soldier prepared for battle with a caricature of a Jewish person creeping behind him, holding a knife to his back. This illustration is referencing the "stab-in-the-back" legend, which originated in Germany after World War I.

The "stab-in-the-back" legend was a myth propagated by right-wing nationalists in Germany, who believed that Germany's defeat in World War I was not due to military reasons but rather because of betrayal from within the country. They scapegoated various groups, including Jews, for their loss in the war.

However, it is important to note that this interpretation is a product of the historical context and the depiction in the illustration itself. It does not accurately represent reality or promote stereotypes about Jewish people.

So, the most accurate interpretation of the main message of the illustration would be that it supports the myth of the "stab-in-the-back," suggesting that Jews were responsible for Germany's defeat in World War I. However, it is crucial to recognize that this interpretation is not historically accurate and promotes a harmful stereotype.

Thanks. D is right.
