In his right hand is an executioners axe, dripping in blood, which he is resting on a round, wooden chopping block. The insignia 'SS' is inscribed on the block.

To the right directly behind Himmler is the lower half of a gallows post inscribed in red ' H.Himmler, torturer' followed by a listing of 16 German concentration camps. The noose from this gallows hangs in front of Himmler's face.
