1. The incident of the Planting of Tree of Liberty in Zweibrücken, Germany was painted by the German painter Karl Kaspar 2. French soldiers, wore the uniforms of blue, white and red color as seen in the Fig 4, have been portrayed as oppressors as they seize a peasant’s cart (left), harass some young women (centre foreground) and force a peasant down to his knees. 3. The plaque being affixed to the Tree of Liberty carries a German inscription which in translation reads: ‘Take freedom and equality from us, the model of humanity.’ This is a sarcastic reference to the claim of the French as being liberators who opposed monarchy in the territories they entered.
