Nazi Propaganda Images
Area of Study 1: Unit 1 Twentieth
Century History
This poster announces a Nazi meeting
in Munich in May 1920. Hitler is to
speak on the topic "What do we want?"
The text below the title reads: "Citizens!
Do not believe that the Germany of
misfortune and misery, the nation of
corruption and usury, the land of Jewish
corruption, can be saved by parties that
claim to stand on a foundation of facts.
Never!"
This is a typical early Nazi
poster from 1921. The first Nazi
posters has bright red
backgrounds and a lot of text.
This one announces that Hitler
will speak, gives the topic, and
notes that Jews are prohibited
from attending. In Mein Kampf,
Hitler wrote:
"We chose red for our
posters, since it is vivid and
was the color that most
aroused our opponents. It
forced them to notice and
remember us."
Another 1928 election poster. The
caption reads: "Two million dead.
Did they die in vain? Never! Front
soldiers! Adolf Hitler is showing you
the way!" The claim is that Hitler
will redeem Germany from the loss
of World War I.
This 1930 poster was produced for
local groups to use in advertising
their meetings. The poster reads:
"Come to the NSDAP Meeting."
There is room to fill in the date,
time and speaker. At the bottom,
there are the following notes:
Admission Price:
War injured and the unemployed
half price
Jews not admitted
This poster comes from the 1932
presidential elections. The caption on
top, in pseudo-Hebraic lettering,
translates as: "We are voting for
Hindenburg!" The pictures are of a
variety of Jewish socialists and
communists, sex researchers, etc. The
caption beneath: "Look at these faces
and you'll know where you belong!"
The pictures are of leading Nazis.
This is another November 1932
poster: "Hitler Builds."
1930-1932 period. The caption
is: "Death to Lies." A strong
Nazi fist grips a snake with
"Marxism" and "High Finance"
on it.
1932. The caption: "Enough!
Vote Hitler!"
From the July 1932 Reichstag election.
The text translates as: "We women vote
for List 2: the National Socialists."
Yet another November 1932
poster. The caption: "Work
and food through National
Socialism."
This is a poster for the 1928
Reichstag election. The Dawes
Plan was an international
agreement dealing with the
matter of German reparations
payments from World War I. The
caption reads: "Break the Dawes
Chains."
1930.
The Red War. Mother or
Comrade? Man or Machine? God
or the Devil? Blood or God? Race
or Bastard? Popular music or jazz?
National Socialism or Bolshevism?
""Workers of the mind
and hand! Vote for the
front soldier Adolf Hitler!"
This poster was by "Mjölnir,"
Goebbels' artist from Berlin, whose
real name was Hans Schweitzer
(1901-1980). The caption translates
as "Despite the ban, not dead." Its
date must be 1928, a period when
most party activities in Berlin were
banned. This striking poster
apparently was not used. The Nazi
book I take it from claims that it was
previously unpublished.
This poster seems to be dated 1924, a
period during which the Nazi Party was
banned after the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.
The caption is: "Germany's Liberation." It
likely came from one of the substitute
parties Nazis founded to continue the
movement while the Nazi Party was
illegal.
"Open the door to freedom! Put a strong
man at the helm! Out of the swamp!
Forward with the powers of renewal! Vote
National Socialist List 2"
This vivid poster from the September
1930 Reichstag election summarizes Nazi
ideology in a single image. A Nazi sword
kills a snake, the blade passing through a
red Star of David. The red words coming
from the snake are: usury, Versailles,
unemployment, war guilt lie, Marxism,
Bolshevism, lies and betrayal, inflation,
Locarno, Dawes Pact, Young Plan,
corruption, Barmat, Kutistker, Sklarek [the
last three Jews involved in major
financial scandals], prostitution, terror,
civil war.
1932. It too deals with Hitler's
citizenship. The caption: "A front
soldier earns his German citizenship.
All German front soldiers who, like
Adolf Hitler, earned and proved their
citizenship through blood and the risk
of their lives, read the 'Völkischer
Beobachter,' the newspaper of their
comrade Adolf Hitler. Fight for the
truth! Death to the lie! Each German
man and woman will vote for Adolf
Hitler!"
The Nazis viewed this as one of
their best posters. It, too, is by
Mjölnir. The caption translates:
"National Socialism: The Organized
Will of the Nation." Goebbels
claimed that Mjölnir perfected the
art of drawing the Nazi Storm
Trooper.
"Work and Food," this poster says.
It was used for the November 1932
Reichstag election. The Nazis
viewed this as one of their most
effective posters.
1932 presidential elections. The
caption: "We are for Adolf Hitler!"
