Cover shot mimicked an old Army recruit poster, with James in place of an ape labeled "militarism" |

And Moses followed the path of Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins |

I believe the photographer was trying to re-create the poster. |

Because at that time it was Germans who needed to be portrayed as subhuman. |
