and this with writing and the french flag.

these posters are from Tschk republic old depot.
I know very well from 21 years ago when finished the comunist era.
There was many german military items from everywhere.
Statni theater, military barracks, and fireman depot.

In my opinion may be a later war production.

These posters need to be available as reproduction poster prints. Many are available but there are so many more not available.

Just looking at this thread again and noticed this comment from antonivs.

The problem with this is that you get some people on the planet who want want to make high end reproductions to rip off unsuspecting collectors - or if not intentionally then eventually they will make their way to these con artists.

I know some collectors like to have repros for displays which is okay, but it causes the rest of us a lot of headaches (and possibly severe wallet burn) trying to figure out what is authentic and what is not.

See this thread on the Wallonie SS poster and the trouble it caused.

here is a period photo showing multiple SS posters in use. Paris 1-1-1940



From the Ullstein bild.

Thanks to F-B on warrelics forum for steering me towards the treasures available to us on the Ullstein bild.

Interesting photo. Notice how huge some of these posters are compared to the people. Looks like a couple of Anton's and the one with the SS Panzer commander in a MK IV.

Here is one in color - not SS but close with the LVF.

Anyone out there have one of these "giant" posters up on their wall??



Here's a clearer view of the LVF poster

Ersatzkommando Waffen SS Dam, Amsterdam, 1944

Hi,

André Zucca was a french photographer for "Signal" in Paris. His collection is now part of the french "Bibliothèque Nationale de la Ville de Paris" (National Library of the City of Paris). He was the guy that took picture of some french SS men for the recruitment campaign during summer 1943 (for example the "blond guy" you can see everywhere, François Bélanger).

The picture of Zucca "1-1-1940" is clearly taken in 1944 due to the use of some posters.

The scan taken from a book shown two original posters in the collection of René Bail, an SS veteran who did the Indochine campaign after the war (if i remember clearly). The "Engage Toi" poster is more like a "big flyer" (or a smaller poster, bigger than a A4), and was recently sold on HH.

The other one is the only one known with a REAL text at the bottom and a national flag added. It is a poster for the Nancy area, with an address different to the one given in other documents about the SS-Erzatzkommandos in France.

Two (fake) variants with the Recteur-Poincaré address exist :
- the first one with the text "centered" is very badly done...
- the more common one has a very different fonts than the one used for the Nancy poster, and we are still investigating on that one. We are checking to know if the font used was in use in 1944 for example.

Vince - what evidence do you have that makes that one shown in the book authentic? I know we discussed it before and you said you were researching it. How did you come to that conclusion?

Very nice poster!

[PBR]

I don't remember if this one was posted yet.
Actually the one on the book cover looks much more sharper than the poster with description on the orange band.
