Never seen this one before, could be post-war, but a neat SS poster promoting SS-Freiwilligen-Division Prinz Eugen led by Artur Phelps. Thoughts welcome.

Second link has a whole bunch of fake/fantasy SS posters in it.
It's taken from an original period illustration but the poster is a fantasy item. -
What are your thoughts on this one?

I've never seen it before but I think it has a better chance.
Post it in the SS Uniforms and insignia section where more of the French and Belgium SS collectors hang out.Comment

Thanks Tony, I will do that. Also, you seem very knowledgeable on posters, are there any books you would recommend for a novice collector? Is there a database somewhere of all posters produced by army/SS? Thanks so much.Comment

Thanks but I don't know everything by a long way.Originally posted by wolfslair44 View Post
It would be nice if there was a database of even just the SS posters. I doubt even all the US WW2 posters are complete in a book or a database. At least I have not seen it.
There are some books available on some of the individual artists like Gino Bocasille (Italian artist) and Harald Damsleth (Norwegian artist) who did some Waffen-SS posters. I keep getting asked to write a book on the best known of the Waffen-SS artists - Ottomar Anton - but I will probably never have the time. It would take years to put that together.
Even the Bundesarchiv does not have as many on file as i thought they might.
I think the most complete website I have seen is probably my friend Harm's www.galleria.thule-italia.com/
It's written in Italian but you can always use an online translator.
This book is not bad as a starter:
