First a disclaimer, I in no way condone anti-semitism, but the first poster is either a reference to international Jewry trying to grab Europe using Britain and the USA or it might be communism, it's not clear. The second poster is emphasizing that the war is total and that all Germany is threatened, not just her soldiery, the poster urges German women to do war work. The title of the third poster is actually "In Deo Gracia" and urges sacrifice for the war effort. A translation at the site below: First one: Crush the allies. I'm not sure if this is anti-semite, but I've seen a similar one with a Jew hiding behind three flags: the USSR,USA and Britain. Second one: I think it was to promote pefection among the germans. Remember Hitler's blue eye and blonde hair policy? Third one: Germany a great power that is going to conquer the world The third is hard to read, but it means "Gibst du dein Scherflein noch so klein in Gott soll dir gesegnet sein." Scherflein means something like "mite". "And if your mite is even small god will bless you for it". |
