Post your SS-Poster

Hmmm! Interesting, Galizien again!

Although I immediately cast doubt on authenticity when posters have no slogans and only symbols... I realise symbolism is very powerful, although back then the slogan was designed to encourage and persuade!

Hi,

months ago i said that it should be interesting to check with the north american "Galizien" association, if they have any info on those various posters.

See You

FRIKORPS DANMARK!

Rare piece. Never seen one for sale. Danish source?

[Max Wünsche]

Indeed it is rare and I have no idea where the original of this one is... not in my collection unfortunately!

I found it on a russian website with a selection of propaganda posters.

It seems there are two different versions of this one....with noticeable differences (not just in colour).

Both are signed -MM-

Would be interesting to see the closeups of the printers details on this one you have posted Harm...

The one I have on hold was printed in LEMBERG (now modern day Lviv in Ukraine).

And a third version...



Not uncommon to have variations of a poster although this one is using a different cyrillic font altogether and exhibits changes in the artwork as well.

[Michael Fay]

Thank Martin I discover all about the postcard.
Two different types. One in B&W and one in colour.
1932, SS advertising card no. 1.
Illustration by F. Albrecht.
Published by Wilhelm F. Mayr, Miesbach

Yes...I did not know the particulars but knew this artist was legit to the era.

As a note...when it comes to artists...as in all things artists do ,they sometimes did their own "take" or style on things like SS runics.

That fine line between what was officially accepted by regulations versa the artist's conceptions.
