Re: German Wartime Posters

Some more:


infan.jpg
This poster is probably from the early early war years.The soldier in the forefront is wearing the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves. The text translates as: "Infantry: The Queen of the Services."


front1.jpg
This is another WWII production poster from the winter of 1940-1941.. The text translates as: "You are the front!"


arbeit.jpg
This poster was issued around May 1942. The text translates as: "This is how we fight. You, too, must work for victory."

A Mjölnir poster is also from around May 1942. The caption: "One battle, one will, one goal: Victory at any cost!" The poster is by "Mjölnir," Goebbels' artist from Berlin, whose real name was Hans Schweitzer (1901-1980), and the theme is a takeoff on one of his pre-1933 posters. Hans Schweitzer survived the war and had a successful career as a graphic artist after 1945, though I doubt he used his pen name.
