This visual from the mid-1930's shows
Germany in white, with the 100,000-man
army permitted by the Treaty of Versailles,
surrounded by heavily armed neighbors.
probably comes
from the mid1930's. The
caption: "Hitler
is building. Help
him. Buy
German
goods."
This is a another
poster used to
advertise local Nazi
meetings. There is
space to fill in the
time, location, speaker
and topic. I'd guess
this is from the 1930's.
This poster was also issued shortly after the Anschluß with
Austria. The caption: "One People, One Reich, One Führer."
This poster is from the
1930's, and promotes the
Nazi monthly Neues Volk
(New People}, the organ
of the party's racial
office. The text reads:
"This genetically ill
person will cost our
people's community
60,000 marks over his
lifetime. Citizens, that is
your money. Read Neues
Volk, the monthly of the
racial policy office of the
NSDAP."
The text of this 1940
poster reads: "Youth
Serves the Führer.
All 10-year-olds into
the Hitler Youth."
Membership in the
Hitler Youth had
become mandatory
in 1936.
The caption: "The
Jew: The inciter of
war, the prolonger of
war." This poster was
released in late 1943
or early 1944.

This poster
was issued
around May
1942. The text
translates as:
"This is how
we fight. You,
too, must work
for victory."
This poster was
distributed in
occupied Europe
and satellite
countries from 1942
onwards. It was part
of the Nazi attempt
to persuade
occupied Europe
that it was part of a
common European
crusade against
Bolshevism
Before World War II
began, Germans were
allowed to listen to
foreign radio broadcasts.
This was banned once the
war began, and by the end
of the war people were
executed for listing to
enemy radio stations. In
this poster, a Marxist
looking chap broadcasts
from London, Moscow,
and other enemy states,
while a German listens in
the darkness, trying to
conceal his crime.
This poster is from later in
the war when Allied
bombers were constantly
over Germany. The text
translates as: "The enemy
sees your light! Black out!"
This Fall1944 poster is
by Mjölnir. The
Volksturm was the Nazi
attempt to call on the last
reserves. Those too
young or too old for
regular military service
were called into service.
The caption translates as
"For freedom and life."
