Hans and Gretel accepted the characteristic attribute of the fairy-tale Hansel and Gretel as the figurative meaning. The witch's woods and the space called jail were accepted to have the common attribute. It has figured the witch's woods as jail and Hitler's ideology tower. A liveried Hans has expressed as the distorted personage of belief by being fascinated at Hitler's idea.
