I’ve seen numerous collection of American and Allied Poster art from WWII, but never German art. It’s interesting how mirror image closely many of the themes parallel the Amercian and Allied art.

That’s a fascinating selection. It doesn’t entirely surprise me that the aesthetics of the posters parallels those of the Allied propaganda. It’s only in retrospect that the idea of normal images being attached to Nazi ideals is so horrific. ---

It would have meant more if I could have read German, but that’s my problem. Great collection.
