Re: German Wartime Posters

Yet even more:


dark.jpg
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!"


katyn.jpg
This one, aimed at a foreign audience, recalls the Russian massacre of Polish officers in Katyn Forest. It translates as: "The forest of the dead at Katyn."


norske.jpg
An SS recruiting poster used in Norway. The translation: "Come with us north" at the top, and "The Norwegian Skihunter Batallion" at the bottom.


vsturm.jpg
This fall 1944 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."
