   If Demandt's essay served as a strident example of the German desire for normalcy, a more subtle example was provided by a brief allohistorical depiction of a Nazi victory in World War II written by German historian Michael Salewski in 1999. 23 May 2005, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, The World Hitler Never Made: Alternate History and the Memory of Nazism, Cambridge University Press, page 182
   As previously described, depiction is a unique type of visual representation defined by both seeing the activities/marks that constitute the depiction whilst also seeing the object of the depiction. 2017, Simon Grennan, “[[Drawing, Depicting and Imagining] Drawing’s Affordances] Depiction”, in A Theory of Narrative Drawing (Palgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels), Palgrave Macmillan, published 2019, page 48
