Re: German Wartime Posters

Still more:

This looks to be a late-war recruiting poster for the SS, a time at which the Nazis were recruiting younger and younger soldiers. The caption doesn't translate directly, but means: "Enlist now!" A literal translation would be: "Especially you!"

This poster comes from the World War II period. The text translates as: "Labor Comrade. You work with us. Keep up your strength!"


certain.jpg
The text reads: "Unshakable, determined to fight, certain of victory!"


kinder.jpg
This poster dates from 1942-1943. Allied bombing of German cities had increased to the level that children in cities were being sent to the countryside for safety. The German term Kinderlandverschickung translates as "sending children to the countryside." The poster encourages parents to register their children aged 3-14 for the program, which was not compulsory.
