Description |
Propaganda poster printed vertically on tan paper in a Gothic font and in yellow and black ink. Poster was created and distributed by the Central press of the NSDAP and depicts a quotation by Adolf Hitler. In the upper left corner of the quote is a drawing of a shield shape outlined in black. Inside is a bee and a hammer and iron slab, printed in black ink, over a yellow background. The bottom right corner has a horseshoe of yellow leaves and acorns around a yellow shield lined with black ink and depicting a swastika. Through the center of the shield and horseshoe, is a yellow sword. Adolf Hitler's name below the quotation is also printed in yellow ink; the remainder of the poster is printed in black ink. Between the eighth and ninth line, there is a dash that looks like an equal sign. The quote reads, "Fleik und + arbeit allein schaffen nicht das leben, wenn sie sich nicht vermahlen mit der kraft und dem Millen eines Dolfes." Or, "Diligence and work by itself don't create life, if they don't marry the strength and the will of a nation." |
